Wesley Peters: I wonder when the skinny concrete elevator was built. From a distance it looks to be built of metal.

The rectangular concrete elevator on the left side of this view is also worth noting, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ACzCohjigu5Edm5z8. There are a few of these rectangular elevators still standing in northern Illinois. I've wondered which contractor built them.
