The Lake and Rail Elevator was built between 1927 and 1930 and has a very unusual architectural highlight in that it had flat walls built around its cylindrical bins.

It was connected to the American Elevator next door by an overhead conveyor that transferred its grain to the waiting bins.

On the right you can see the Standard, which was built in 1926 by James Stewart & Company.
