This mill was designed in the style of Dutch and German windmills for grinding grain.

The Mill building was built in 1916 to serve as a banquet hall and restaurant by a local brewing magnate. The name of the building came, in turn from Bevo the largest brand of near beer or barley malt and hop flavored soft-drink manufactured by the local Anheuser-Busch Company. The Bevo name itself is in reference to "pivo", the slavic language name for beer as the newer Bohemian or Czech beer style called Pilsner was very influential to American brewers.
