The building has a rectangular footprint and is comprised of several smaller gabled structures oriented to the south along Elevator Road. The foundation is stone and concrete. The main structure is three stories in height with a front gable roof and front gabled cupola. There is a small single story structure with a front gable roof adjacent to the elevator's east elevation. A two-story side gabled addition is located adjacent to the elevator's west elevation. This unit features a substantial front gabled dormer. A single story side gabled wing extends to the west, with a small shed roof addition on the far west end. The grain elevator is clad in metal siding with a metal roof. The fenestration pattern is irregular, and the original windows have been boarded. The grain elevator is an astylistic utilitarian building that has undergone numerous additions since its construction. It is not architecturally distinguished enough to meet National Register standards.The grain elevator is not eligible for the National Register. A Determination of Eligibility is not recommended. |
