Duluth, MN: Duluth Lake Port Storage/Capital Grain Elevator on Rice's Point

(3D Satellite)

The grain elevator in the foreground is one of the grain elevators that is still on Rice's Point. However, the Port has bought it, and it plans to remove it.

Capital elevator is the one in the foreground. The wooden elevator burned in Jan 1978. The elevator is now Duluth Lake Port Storage with another bank of concrete silos to replace the storage of the wooden elevator.

The elevator on the right is an earlier version of this elevator. The elevator on the left became part of the new Cargill grain elevator.

This elevator is in the middle of this photo. The other elevators are either gone or have been replaced by more modern elevators.

Note new concrete silos are well under construction to make up for the lost storage.
