Harvey, IL: Aborted Grain Elevator

(3D Satellite)
According to Nikki Burgess, this grain elevator was abandoned before it was completed because urban creep won the race. Because the "big city" was getting close, did they try to hide that it was going to be a grain elevator by using fancy architecture?

Nikki Burgess My understanding is that it was intended as a grain elevator on the GTW in Harvey IL. Never actually completed; the area lost its ag business just as they were building it.
