Chris Hennebry: One of two surviving grain elevators of that type along the Fargo to Ortonville branch. The other is in Tyler ND.
Wesley Peters: Chris Hennebry I wonder if it is a former Spencer Grain Co. house. That is who owned the elevator in Tyler at one time.

The railroad was the Milwaukee. Judging by a satellite image, the route is now abandoned.

This looks like a town that has more bins than houses. Partly because of the farmer's grain handling system on the east side.
