Additional Information: | September 2020: #242150 is located on the north side of Marengo River Road in White River, approximately 0.23 miles west of the intersection of Marengo River Road and Richardson Road. The immediate surrounding area consists of cultivated fields in all directions. #242150 consists of as single circa 1930, galvanized metal windmill that is in good condition. The manufacturing company and location are engraved on the tail, with the top section reading “N.W. Wind Eng. Co.” and “Minneapolis, Minn” on the bottom. Though rusted, the rotor contains all of the original blades. The tower is partially covered in a vine and overgrown vegetation at its foundation. The windmill was originally part of a farmstead that is shown in historic aerial photographs as early as 1939, but destroyed prior to 1983 (USDA 1939, NETROnline 2020). |
