Mankato, MN: Ardent Flour Mills with Silo Art and Lost/C&NW Depot

Elevator: (3D Satellite)

I'm guessing the railroad is UP/C&NW because most of the spokes into this town on my 1928 RR Atlas were C&NW.

Jeremy Dose posted five photos with the comment: "This elevator is part of the ardent four mill complex in Mankato Mn. Some history on it is below."
