Pleasant Hill in Cass County, Missouri — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
400 Cedar St.
Historic Building circa 1860
This was the original site of the stone mill owned by F.H. Marshal and Son. Here they operated a corn mill, saw mill, a turning lathe and repair shop. In 1898, the top was removed so the red brick Kellogg Opera House could be built on the two-foot stone foundation. The Methodist Church purchased it and held services here from 1917-67. The building then became the Hope Baptist Church, with this congregation still occupying it in 1992.
Erected 1992 by Pleasant Hill Downtown Association.
