The elevator was a wood building thats why it was painted red. The gray was from metal plated placed over it..

I will guess the siding was added when ADM took over the building.

Here is a photo I took in 1980 showind the siding.

Nelson,

 

Here’s a glimpse of the mineral red elevator behind the depot in 1955. While it doesn’y impact you model,the second isfrom April of ’57 showing it was a greyish, almost a flat aluminum color, not white.
