Another Saturday, Another Silo.
This week's Saturday Timewatch once more features what in my opinion is one of the iconic structures of 20th century America - the grain silo.
These were actually rice silos. Presumably too expensive to demolish, they are clearly visible from I-10 driving west from Houston. The silos are at the junction of Westview and Lumpkin, where fortunately they are a little easier to photograph than from the interstate itself. They stand out amongst the myriad of malls, hospital complexes, motels and food outlets that line the interstate for mile after mile. As far as I know, they are no longer used inside but the land around is used by a boat and RV storage company.
