Other commercial and residential structures lie to the south of the Hayden Mill/Hayden House complex, with the Blinn Lumber Yard at the lower left corner.
To the north - right - of the Flour Mill are the adode walls that remain from a structure that burned around 1894/1895 which housed facilities including a blacksmith, carpenter, worker housing and at one time, the Tempe Daily News newspaper (before that office moved to 4th Street and Maple).
