I took this a few years ago. I still miss living in the Columbia Gorge. I want to revisit this spot this fall with an 8x10 camera.

The Enid Terminal Elevator is the oldest grain storage facility in Enid, Oklahoma. It was designed by a Missouri architect and built using concrete in 1925-1926. It is 594 feet long, 60 feet wide and 190 feet tall to the roof. It stores 2 million bushels, or 70 million liters of grain.
It was originally built as Texas based Goodpasture Inc's grain elevator as seen on the top of the center tower. According to a news article published in 1994, the company was planning to close the elevator due to the economic decline in the grain business.
It is one of the eight grain elevators in the city that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District. The city has the largest grain storage in the state and the nation. By 1970, the city claimed the title of Wheat Capital of the United States of America. It hit its peak with a total grain storage capacity of 80 million bushels, or 2.81 billion liters in 1987. Due to the economic decline, drought, and change of grain transportation method, some of the elevators in the city have shut down. Today, Enid continues to have the largest grain storage capacity in the US and the third largest in the world.

A silo (from the Greek σιρός – siros, "pit for holding grain") is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain (see grain elevators) or fermented feed known as silage.

The Sharonville elevators were built in the 1930's for Central Soya. It was sold in 2002 to Bunge Ltd which closed the complex after the explosion on August 22, 2014. The closed site is now owned by a neighboring business, Vogt Warehouses.
Instantly recognisable and often erroneously called mushroom stones , Staddle stones (variations include steddle stones) have been used for centuries as the raised footings for granaries and tithe barns in order to prevent both damp and pesky rats and mice raiding the stores.
Generally found in the southern counties, Staddles can be found in a number of mediums, most commonly sandstone and granite, they will vary region by region and will these days be seen gracing rural driveways and gardens.
I have seen this type of granary in my area in Dorset (another southern county).
A set of old farm buildings used for grain storage set abandoned on an old farm north of Hennepin,IL. The little grain bin on the left was the "modern" mode,and was probably built sometime in the '60s. Old cribs still scatter the landscape on today's farms,but are seldom used....

The title comes from the two sheds labeled Pit 1 and Pit 2 here at Ririe Grain & Feed. This is a huge grain storage area for such a small Idaho town.
In even the smallest, most tenuous rejected towns of the Great Plains, the relic banks have grand names. This one is just "Bank." The little that's left of the town is all pretty much like that.
An impressive grain storage silo(s)along train trackage in tiny Elva,IL. A large part of the trackage is now gone,but one track is still in use-there used to be 3-4 live tracks here.The old depot is still there,along with a few other RR buildings in poor condition. Elva itself is down to one street now and is now unincorporated.
While this old grain elevator has been closed for a long time,I'm sure the ghosts of many past trains still flyby underneath that incredible night sky....
Back in the early to mid 1900's progressive grain farms built this style of corncrib.This "thin" design was more efficient to store and handle corn picked on the cob.Later when threshers and combines began shelling the grain,these cribs became obsolete and because of their narrow design,hard to adapt for other uses such as machine storage.We had 2 on our farm back in the early '60s-they were taken down shortly after and replaced by more efficient,but much less interesting,round metal grain bins(there's one in the background here) that dot the rural landscape today...and sure enough this relic was full of corn cobs....
Efficiency doesn't always have the same character....
Have a great Sliders Sunday everyone!
