IN THE LATE 1980S, A LOCAL QUARRY COMPANY ANNOUNCED THEIR PLANS TO DEMOLISH THE SOUTHERN WINDMILL IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO STONE IN THE AREA.
THIS CAUSED PUBLIC OUTCRY AMONGST PORTLAND'S POPULATION, WHICH CAUSED THE LOCAL QUARRY OWNERS TO WITHDRAW THE DEMOLISHING PLAN AND MORE SEVERE PLANNING RESTRICTIONS WERE IMPOSED ON THEM.
