David Budka: The weird feed mill complex in Wilson, Kansas! |
Their Chamber of Commerce building is a repurposed gas station. I'm guessing 1930s. They still have the pump island. It would be nice if they could find some pumps for it.
This is the wood grain mill in the background of the above view. Obviously, none of the elevators now get rail service. The route was Great Northern.
There are at least three wood elevators in the complex that Jerry posted. I don't know what is between the stave silo and the bolted-steel silo near the middle of this view. Given David Budka's comment above, maybe that is the building that houses the feed mill equipment.
I see in this view that there is another elevator on the right side. This view shows that this elevator doesn't have any jump-form silos. They are all stave silos.
I had noticed that the above elevator had about every old grain storage technology except slip form silos. Well this elevator has a slip-form elevator and the widest bolted-steel bin that I have seen.
I thought I found a fifth wood elevator, but then I realized that this is just another view of the elevator in Jerry's post.
Old-US 40 is south of the tracks. The road north of the tracks also tried to appeal to tourists. This statue is labeled "
Statue of Liberty."
Fortunately, later I found Todd's original post.

posted nine photos with the comment: "Wilson Kansas."
Eric Miller: Most people just take pics of the Sunflower sign and the elevator’s behind. There’s a whole lot more than that to photograph.
Todd Wilson: Eric Miller we stayed at the midland. It was a neat old hotel.
