English: By 1889 the Riccarton Flour Mills had outgrown both their original 1856 Antigua Street premises and a later site on the Deans estate at Riccarton. It was decided to expand further and this decision resulted in the construction of a large four-storey brick mill in Wise Street, Addington, designed by J C Maddison (1850-1923). The mill opened in 1891 and was powered by steam, lit by electricity and serviced by the railway line next door. The property was extended with a tall brick grain silo in 1913 (in 2003 used for grain mixing by Champion Flour Mills) and storage buildings in 1924. By 1936 it had the largest output of flour in the South Island. In 1970 Wood Brothers Limited sold the mill complex and the buildings were used for a variety of functions. Fourteen apartments were built within the original Maddison building and a Luttrell Brothers 1924 addition. |
