Bob Summers posted two photos with the comment:
When traveling across the county on an interstate highway it takes seeing a couple of opportunities to make exiting the highway and driving into town worthwhile for me. The other opportunity I noticed here at Edson Kansas was this nice little Sampson built slip form working house. On closer look I noticed a couple of unusual things about the bolted steel annex. I have never seen a peaked roof to maximize the capacity on a bolted steel bin before. Also the second level from the bottom has steel reinforcing bands, indicating they had concerns about this structure? Maybe filling the bin to near the top of the upper level put additional stress on the lower walls? The concrete annex is also a little unusual in shape, maybe a "5-pack? Wished I had a photograph from the other side.

As a bonus, I noticed the town still has an old galvanized steel covered wood elevator.
