Flour mill. They're always difficult to demolish, as they're so
strongly constructed. Must be one of the few buildings where you
could tip it on its side without it immediately self-dismantling
under gravity.

Just out of interest, why are flour mills so strongly constructed?
Presumably all that strength costs money and isn't done without good
reason.

On Mythbusters they created some pretty impresive fireballs using sawdust
and flour in an air-cannon, but non-dairy-creamer was even better.
