Roadside History

| Old Grain Elevator west and south of Mahnomen, MN February 2016 |
My nephew, Bruce drove my sister, two brothers-in-law, and me to the casino in Mahnomen, MN one day in late February. One the way there, we passed this delightful old elevator, and I told Bruce I'd like to get a photo on the way home. I was delighted that he remembered and pulled over to the side of the road.

The building is well-maintained and should see more years of useful life.
The weathered wood is beautiful! So nice to see that it is being used and well cared for.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful old building. Kind of like an old farmer/rancher - the skin is weathered but the body is still tall and strong.
ReplyDeleteI love that they've kept the old along with the new silo. I think it's always heartening to know that people will continue to use buildings and places that are still useful.
ReplyDeleteThe wood appeals to me and the way the building shadows onto the one behind it ...very easy on the eyes. Also the steel color roof and the light blue sky make for a really pleasing palette of color.s Nice Nancy!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Same as you, I LOVE the old buildings! They certainly tell a story.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fine elevator and is a good subject for a photo. I cannot place where this one is. Ulen maybe? Did you win anything at the Casino? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is still in use? It really is attractive. Perhaps one of use should look to this picture for some color inspiration. It's wonderful.
