Description

Forbes Mill opened for business in December, 1855. It was built by James Alexander Forbes on land which had been part of Rancho Rinconada de los Gatos. Forbes called his enterprize the Santa Rosa Flour Mill. About a year after he began production, Forbes declared bankruptcy. The mill then passed through a number of hands, and experienced periods of success. By the time this photograph was taken circa 1900, the building had fallen into disrepair. FB015
