| Additional Information: | This c.1960 steel structure is a product of the Trachte Company of Madison, Wisconsin. As a storage unit, the Quonset-type building is reflective of the period of rapid growth and efficient construction techniques that saw metal buildings gain widespread public appeal after World War II. Built of corrugated steel and covered by a metal barrel roof, this single-story structure rests on a raised concrete foundation. The north elevation features a metal door and garage door. A single four-light window is located on the east elevation. Four large metal silos stand at the west end of the building, capped by low conical metal roofs. |
