Chase Grain Elevator

The Chase Grain Elevator features two cylindrical grain bins and a third pocket bin formed from a semi-circle of tile connecting the main structures.

After a previous Chase & Sons elevator burned down in winter 1921-22, this new fireproof tile elevator was constructed with an initial capacity of 13,500 bushels.

The building represents an experimental period in agricultural architecture when construction methods transitioned from wooden to concrete grain storage facilities.

Located at 123 Railroad Street in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, the grain elevator stands as a functional example of early 20th-century agricultural infrastructure.

This structure remains the last known tile elevator in Wisconsin, earning recognition on both National and State Registers of Historic Places.
