Sturgeon Bay, WI: Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator Restoration

(Satellite)

An old grain elevator is being moved back to its original location on the waterfront to be restored as an event center and observatory.

I have not been able to determine where the elevator was moved from nor when the move happened, but it appears that it has shown up on a satellite image already.

In Oct 2018, this location was just a vacant lot.

Located in Sturgeon Bay, WI., the Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator was rescued by the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society. For the last 4 years we have worked so hard to get this grain elevator restored and are now in the beginning stages. This one is the last, or one of the last, wooden grain elevator located on the Great Lakes. It is in a location that gets over a million visitors per year which makes it a viable project. The images below show renderings from our architect. The blue stairs and passageways show how we will get the public to see areas of the grain elevator they haven’t been privy to in the past. A generous donor just put up a $100,000 match challenge. If you are so inclined we appreciate any support for this project. Please visit our website https://sturgeonbayhistoricalsociety.org/granary to donate. Thank you!

Structures that are added to improve accessibility are painted blue to document that they were not part of the original elevator.

For our restoration in sturgeon bay, to fix our rot bin areas, we bought lumber from the globe elevator months before it burned down.
