Kind of sucks that this turn-of-the-century (Last century, btw, not the 2Ks) icon of local interest has outlived its usefulness.
If you can see the wood building in the background, it has become historically significant during this project. There is a massive movement to salvage all that one hundred fifty year old wood for other purposes. Maybe you can see that they started to destroy it and stopped once they discovered that the wood was still healthy and could be salvaged.
Here is a pic of the ancient wood.
Eight stories tall; all wood. An early version of a silo with "window" vents, instead of forced air ELECTRIC fans.
Kind of sad to see it all go.
