BUILDING NEW HOME FOR COLLIN
COUNTY COTTON MILL
J. PERRY BURRUS, PRESIDENT
COLLIN COUNTY MILL AND ELEVATOR
CO.
Daily Courier Gazette, May 14, 1914
The Collin County Mill and
Elevator Company has announced its intention to rebuild its plant in McKinney so
that it will be much larger than at present and modern in every respect. The
location is to be changed and the new institution will be located directly east
of the Union Depot on a lot 200 feet by 400 feet which the company has owned for
a number of year.
The main building is to be 90
feet by 50 feet, four stories high; the first story 20 feet, the second and
third stories 16 feet each, and the fourth story 20 feet high. The warehouse is
to be 90 feet by 80 feet, two stories high; and the office will be on the second
floor of the warehouse. The buildings will be of brick, with metal sashes and
frames; the floors will be five inches thick. The engine room will be one story,
50 feet by 30 feet. The boiler room will be 40 feet by 30 feet. Both will be
absolutely fire proof.
Reinforced concrete platforms and
structural steel sheds will surround the building, enabling easy access to cars
and wagons. The elevators will cover space approximate 60 feet by 170 feet, and
will be built entirely of steel and with concrete foundations.
