If I ever go to Atlanta, IL, on a Sunday to get more interior views of the J.H. Hawes Elevator, I also need to go down the road to get photos of this elevator. (Update: nope, it was torn down in 2023.)

| Randall Friesen posted This is one of my favorites. It is located in Lawndale, IL. along old Rt. 66 (now part of Hwy 55). It looks like they just kept adding on with multiple different bin styles. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Randall's post It is obvious that the big steel bin on the other side is welded. Most photos of steel bins that I have seen of Illinois elevators are bolted instead of welded. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m6!1e1!3m4... Bob Summers Out here on the Great Plains both bolted and welded steel bins were mostly pre WWII before the corrugated galvanized steel bins came into wide use. The welded bins were generally the larger bins, bolted were smaller diameters. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Randall's post That elevator has about every construction technology except slipform. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m6!1e1!3m4... Bob Summers The concrete tanks shown do not appear to have the horizontal lines normallly seen on jump forms, so think they are slip form builds. Also do not see and concrete stave bins in the photos. Dennis DeBruler Bob Summers If you move the street view closer to the tanks, you can see bands. In fact, you can see a grid. Is the grid caused by rebar? https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slUWB... |

| Stuart Pearson posted Lawndale, IL. Grain Elevator Stuart Pearson shared I captured this view while standing close to the Railroad Tracks. As a Freightr Train had just passed I felt safe with my position. Brian Falasz: This old elevator has just been razed in the last couple of weeks [Feb 2023]. Been by it 100 times or more over the years and never snapped a pic. |

| Bob Kalal commented on Stuart's share was there in Dec last year [2022] |
