Silo for Saturday

[db4600]

The clay silo is located at the old H. P. Lahr farm. Henry Peter was known as H P or horse power partly in reference to the Case steam engines he had. The other is the Glatzel place. This was some of the early settlers of the area and the rugged rolling hills has maybe prevented big expansion. Just down the road is the Chock log house that is still in the family and well kept although not a residence. This area is between the St. Benedict’s and St. John’s campuses.

The first one looks like the silo on the farm where I grew up. Though that barn looks like one that was on a neighboring farm.

Really like those old ceramic tile silos, and barns. Still see a few around.

And the red tile silo looks the one we had pushed down to make way for our new pole shed (built after high winds blew down our original old barn).

Grew up with a gambrel barn, a little bigger than the one pictured, with a red tile silo on the back end. Got brave and walked around the top edge once. Great view from up there. Just another time I tried to kill myself.

Those are some hefty hewed logs on that nearest barn.

So I'm guessing this is somewhere in the St Cloud, MN area??

The Mt. Hood concrete stave silo my parents had built in the late 50's is still standing but all the dairy barns were pushed down after they sold the farm in 1980. The new owners built an open pole shed that has mostly been empty, as they do nothing but mow part of the 47 acres that was pasture and woods. They rent the 50 acres of flat land for crops....James
