Reading Company Grain Elevator
Reading Company Grain Elevator, Grain elevator in Center City, Philadelphia, United States.
The Reading Company Grain Elevator features continuous poured concrete construction with multiple storage silos and machinery towers reaching into the Philadelphia skyline.
The Reading Railroad constructed this grain elevator in 1925 to replace an earlier structure from the Civil War period that had been destroyed by a grain explosion.
The structure represents Philadelphia's industrial era, when grain transportation and storage facilities formed essential connections between agricultural and urban commerce.
Located at 411 N. 20th Street in Philadelphia, the building now functions as office space under the name 'The Granary' following its 1986 renovation.
The former grain storage facility underwent transformation in the 1970s, with its machinery towers converted into a penthouse apartment complete with terraces and a swimming pool.
