It looks like it took three bulldozers and an excavator to pull it over.

| Facebook Reel apparently old Salt Lake Elevator co elevator just got tore down today [Nov 20, 2025] in Preston,ID. just 500 yards from my parents home where I grew up. I found out from some people asking about the supposed earthquake they felt nearby. this is a video of it coming down. this page has some photos of it back in the day. It was definitely in poor condition but still I was sad to hear it is gone. One of the few "tall" buildings we had. |
Back when it was still standing. Note the regular elevator in the right background.

It looks like it was wood on top of concrete.

They have added a lot of bins and legs to the regular elevator. I wonder if it is now a feed mill.

This older view shows that the new stuff replaces some more wood elevators.

Yep, I think it is a feed mill. The elevator that was torn down is in the right background. Evidently the school bus is now a Mexican restaurant.

The town was served by two railroads. And the Oregon Short Line route is still active because the railcars stored on the tracks changed between views. I wonder who owns it now.
