Notes
  • Significance: The Kregel Windmill Company factory is the last preserved intact windmill factory in the United States. The company was founded in 1879, and began to manufacture wooden windmills known as the "Kregel." By the last decade of the nineteenth century, the company was producing steel windmills sold under the name "Eli." Company founder George F. Kregel moved the factory to its present location in 1903, where he manufactured windmills through World War II when materials rationing forced him to stop production. After the war George's son Arthur took over the business and focused on water well and pump services.
