American Grain Complex
American Grain Complex, Grain elevator in South Buffalo, United States.
The American Grain Complex spans 4.37 acres with three buildings, including an elevator building, flour building, and office structure connected by railroad tracks.
Built between 1905 and 1931, this industrial facility operated until June 2001 when ConAgra Foods closed the elevator and mill operations.
The complex exemplifies the industrial architecture of early twentieth century grain storage facilities that shaped Buffalo's development as a distribution center.
Located at 87 Childs Street, the complex contains multiple structures designed for grain processing, including a mainhouse, workhouse, and marine towers.
The facility features both fixed and moveable marine towers, allowing for efficient transfer of grain between ships and storage units through mechanical systems.
