Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator
Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator, Grain elevator in St. Louis Park, United States.
This cylindrical concrete structure rises 125 feet high with 12-inch thick walls at the base, tapering to 8 inches at the top.
Constructed in 1899 by Charles Haglin and Frank Peavey, this elevator marked the first use of cylindrical concrete design for grain storage in North America.
The structure represents a major advancement in agricultural engineering, transforming grain storage methods across the United States during the early 1900s.
The elevator features an interior diameter of 20 feet and maintains a storage capacity of 30,000 bushels, demonstrating concrete's effectiveness for grain containment.
During its first operational test in 1900, local residents gathered to witness the grain release, confirming the structural integrity of this experimental design.
