The holes in the floor are the nature of the beast when it comes to grain processing - and even if they were intact, the floors probably wouldn't be in that great of shape because of the oil & grease from the milling equipment over the years.

Nice observation, Johan. MB: Good authority? You're sure? Why hasn't it been mentioned? That would add so much more value to the location. Wow, wow, wow.
