Armour's Warehouse, Grain elevator in Seneca, United States
The four-story grain elevator stands 65 feet tall with a basement, measuring 40 feet by 80 feet at the junction of William and Bridge Streets.
Built in 1861 by John Armour on the north bank of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, this structure played a key role in attracting railroad development to Seneca.
The grain elevator represents the agricultural development of Illinois during the 19th century, marking a period of economic growth through grain distribution networks.
The property includes five separate buildings: the main elevator, an 1892 office, a scale house, two seed warehouses, and a corn crib from 1940.
Corrugated metal siding was added to the building in 1924 for fire prevention, while an 1883 railroad spur remains on the north side of the elevator.
