Asper that included a 3-story brick flour mill, grain elevator, and warehouse built in 1883 (the latter's roof blew off in 1904). The depot was opposite the mill over the tracks.The G&H had begun shipments to Asper's mill by November 28, 1883, and when the route was complete to Gettysburg, Bendersville Station was initially the only stop designated as "station" on the original 1884 railroad schedule. The locale's additional industrial facilities subsequently included the 1888 Peters planing mill, a 1902 tannery, the Allen flint mill, a 1922 canning plant, and the 1893 Penn Tile Works (encaustic tile by J.
