Mitchell-Maskrey Mill is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. John Goodenow started the first milling operation in the Maquoketa area in 1838. He sold it to Joseph McCloy who established a larger operation along Mill Creek south of town in 1842. Edward Maskry leased this operation in 1865. He purchased this lot from the Methodist Church a few years later, and operated a mill in the old sanctuary. This three story brick structure was built in 1886 around the old frame church. When it was completed the old church building was dismantled.[2] While it has changed owners, the facility has continuously served the same company.[2] Frank Mitchell partnered with Stephen Maskrey in 1912, and the company has been known as Mitchell-Maskrey Co. ever since. This is the only industrial building in Maquoketa's central business district.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] The mill sustained some damage in a massive fire on January 19, 2008, that destroyed five buildings and severely damaged a sixth immediately to the west.[3]
