Elevators at Merricourt
Two long-abandoned elevators moldering away just outside the ghost town of Merricourt. The tall one is an early concrete elevator, and the other one is made of brick.
While brick was theoretically better than the tin and wood construction of many other elevators built at the same time, it seems that it was not as strong in practice.
