The grain milling industry in Frankenmuth has a long history. In 1847, just two years after the founding of Frankenmuth, the Hubinger brothers built their mill on the banks of the Cass River.

While operating successfully for a number of years and having rebuilt after a catastrophic fire in 1909, the Hubinger family eventually sold their operation to their competitors, the Star of the West in 1921. They operated the mill until 1956 and then sold the mill and property to the Frankenmuth Brewing Company who deemed it obsolete and demolished the structure.
