Zip Feed Tower, Former grain elevator in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The Zip Feed Tower stood at 202 feet tall with concrete walls and specialized equipment for grain processing and storage operations.
Built in 1956, this grain elevator maintained its position as South Dakota's tallest structure until the CenturyLink Tower surpassed it in 2005.
The grain elevator represented the economic strength of South Dakota's agricultural sector, processing and storing grain for regional farmers.
The structure closed in 2000 due to reduced demand, leading to a scheduled demolition that required multiple attempts with different methods.
During the 2005 demolition attempt, instead of falling sideways as planned, the entire structure slid directly into its basement.
