war Posted December 14, 2019 Share #3137 Posted December 14, 2019 This is a very nice photograph of what I'm pretty sure is the abandoned grain elevator at Vona, Colorado A note: The historic restoration of the Hogan grain elevator in Seneca Illinois required that I research elevated warehouses all over the country. Vona is a fine intact (assuming your photo is fairly recent) example and worthy of serious restoration. Too many have been lost already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted December 14, 2019 Share #3138 Posted December 14, 2019 It is the Vona grain elevator, and it is a recent picture, made this October. The site is shared with a more modern steel silo-and-lift-tower elevator (out of frame right) operated by Tempel Grain, which company exists to keep these small-town elevators going. https://www.tempelgrain.com/fccp-about-19445 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Vona,+CO+80861/@39.3012012,-102.7420784,144m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x87732b1666c5e7bb:0x6c1af1c1f10cb703!8m2!3d39.3036044!4d-102.7429831 I don't suppose you know its original date? The town of Vona was founded in 1919, but the elevator may predate that. Or may have been rebuilt at some point - they do tend to catch fire now and then. About all I can tell about it is that it is standard balloon-frame construction rather than cribbed - thus the metal restraining straps bolted around the waistline. I was fascinated by the ziggurat-stepped shape, in any case. Anyway - your turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted December 17, 2019 Share #3139 Posted December 17, 2019 Yes the interesting shapes of these agricultural and industrial buildings are driven purely by function. It probably predates the town, the present additions and exterior materials give no clue though because it was likely constantly resided layer upon layer. Age determination requires some detective work on the interior. Here's a new photo of a familiar building type to determine the location of. Welcome, dear visitor!
