It
all began back then… June 1930.
From the Door County Advocate:
Dagneau’s
New Mill Opening Saturday Night
"The formal opening
of The Mill, Minor Dagneau’s beautiful new place on the corner of
Highway 17 and 78, north from here, will take place Saturday night.
Souvenirs will be given to all who attend.
"Mr. Dagneau, who
formerly owned the National Hotel here, states that his new place will
specialize in Chicken Sandwiches and Fish Fries at all times and will
serve special dinners for parties making advanced reservations.
"The building, which
is 54 by 69, includes a lobby, small soft drink parlor, and excellent
white maple dancing floor surrounded by 16 booths, a modern kitchen on
the main floor and living quarters for the family on the second floor.
"The exterior,
painted in cream with apple trimmings is set off by a Dutch mill tower
itself lighted with white and green lights alternately flashing on and
off. Highway 78 will be landscaped.
"The building is
electrically equipped and has hot and cold running water. Contracts for
The Mill were let to John Anschtuz, Ed B. Olsen, F.J. Stroh and Son,
Barker Lumber and Fuel Company, R.Z. Dama, Fred Crandall was the
architect.
"Mr. Dagneau is
pleased with the work done."[end of Advocate article]
