Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Grain Elevators, Grain Covered Hoppers, and Traffic

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

There is a book on the design and evolution of grain elevators. Naturally called "Grain Elevators", it is by Lisa Mahar-Keplinger and was printed in 1993 by the Princeton Architectural Press. The book contains both photos and interior/exterior drawings of both rural and terminal elevators. If you are really interested in grain elevator design and function, this book covers it.

Hello Louis.

Based on my limited knowledge of how wood Grain Elevators were built 100 years ago; Not all Grain Elevators were sided with wood or corrugated metal. The picture you sent appears to me to be built with dimensioned lumber laid on its side as shown on Fig. 46 below.
