Silo for Saturday

[Not db4600]

This stoic sentinel remains along MN Hwy 15 and 33rd. Its neighbor was Ralph’s Tractor Repair, progress fractured the old neighborhood. A roundabout pinched to the north, an on ramp on the east steps, and a crusher engulfing the granite pasture west.

I would just love to here the stories that old barn could tell. Centerpiece of the farm back in the day.

Which MN county? Does not look like McLeod county.

Silo and barn appear to be in excellent shape. Too bad someone can't put it to use. It would be interesting to know, given the little piece of the pie that's left there, who owns it. Government, or private?

South side of Sr Cloud.

Great pictures. Shows "then" and "now" plus provokes all the "I wonders." Keep them coming.

Wow, that is north of I-94 close to the city limits.

It was probably a nice small farm until the interstate came through and took his land.
