Inscription.
Silos Baking Co.. . Originally part of the Brazos Valley Cotton Oil Company property, records indicate this corner building is over 100 years old. After the closure of the mill, this building was briefly transformed into a flower shop, where Chip often bought flowers for Joanna while they were dating. The flower shop eventually closed, and as Magnolia started to grow, Joanna dreamed of buying this corner building to use as an office. When Chip and Joanna inquired about purchasing the property, they discovered that the silos and grain barn were included in the sale. Chip and Joanna bought the silos property in 2014 and transformed this building into Silos Baking Co., which opened for business in June 2016.
