So.... one of the photo challenegs I'm focusing on this year is the 52-week challenge, which presents a different theme for each week of the year. We're nearing the end of week 3, and the theme is "Architecture". So, I ran out at lunchtime yesterday and snagged the above photo. Converted th black and white on the computer, that tweaked to give an "old timey" look.
I've taken a few photos of this site over the years, but I'm confident this is a new take (for me at least!).
In my posting, I noted "Pretty sure it is (or was) a grain tower." I decided to do some internet digging and found some more info: The area was called Mont Station in the late 1989's through 1930's. This "modern concrete fire-proof grain elevator" was built in 1913, replacing the previous wooden elevator.
Cool history to go with a funky old building. Sort of surprising that it is over 100 years old!
