Built in 1916, the creamery was designed by noted Nevada architect Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps.

The company sold butter and other produce under the Windmill brand name and eventually became the largest creamery in Nevada.

While the company mainly shipped its goods to the San Francisco area, it also sold internationally; the year before the creamery was built, it sent a large shipment of butter to China.

[2] The creamery building is now used by Bently Nevada for manufacturing purposes.

[3] The creamery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1986.
