The current owner is the Town of Esterhazy and is run by the Friends of the Flour Mill.
[2] There were many hold-ups in the construction of the Esterhazy Flour Mill due to non-delivery of materials.
[5] James Saunders, of Whitewood, Saskatchewan, was a small operator who serviced consumers in the area that surrounded his mills, by only selling surplus flour for export.
Frank Size purchased the Esterhazy Flour Mill from James Saunders in 1911 and continued on as head miller.
Junek also advertised, at that time, that farmers could bring in wheat for milling without the quantity being entered in the permit book as long as it was for their own use.
The Mill changed ownership a number of times between 1949, with the passing of Rudolph Junek, up until 1979.
In 1959 Junek sold the mill, due to his failing health, to partners John Jurick and Frank Pittner.
Pittner's share was soon bought out later that year by John Kacsmar, who operated the mill with Jurick until the fall of 1962.
Repairs and maintenance were done throughout the summer months in the early years of operation of the mill, and production would resume in the fall with the availability of the new crop.
The roof began to leak causing damage to the flooring inside the mill and once the windows had broken it became a nesting site for pigeons.
A feasibility study was proposed in 1995, to determine the costs of putting the mill back into operation.
Due to the poor physical appearance of the facility some citizens of Esterhazy pushed for the demolition of the mill.
[5] A demolition order was rescinded by the Town of Esterhazy in February 1996, due to the interest of two parties in the mill facility, Hubert Lacoste, a miller from Quebec, and the Saskatchewan Heritage Branch.
[8] The Provincial Heritage Property designation was announced earlier in 2005 but the plaque unveiling was held during Esterhazy's centennial homecoming celebrations.
