About Former Maoxin Flour Mill
Wuxi's first flour mill, started in 1902 by the industrialist brothers Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng beside the Grand Canal, the first factory of the Rong family's industrial business. Bombed in 1937, the mill was rebuilt in 1946–48 to designs by the architect Tong Jun, and after it closed in 2003 the mill buildings were turned into the Wuxi China National Industry and Commerce Museum, part of the Wuxi Museum group, on the history of the city's private industry.
