Artist's Description
Nearly 100 years towering over Buffalo River the Concrete Central Grain Silo is a commanding sight.
Concrete Central was built between 1915 and 1917 at the height of World War I.

Concrete Central stretches along the Buffalo River for almost a quarter of a mile and was the largest transfer elevator in the world at the time of its completion in 1917. It is also the largest elevator ever built in the Buffalo area. When in operation, it had the capacity to handle a total of 4.5�million US bushels (160,000�m3) of grain. The elevator allowed crews to load and unload 20 railroad cars an hour, three marine legs along the Buffalo River side could load and unload three massive lake freighters at one time.
