About The H-O Oats Elevator Silo Photograph in Buffalo NY
I was able to photography this majestic tower before they disappeared.
H-O Oats came to in 1893, and the brick-and-concrete mill opened in 1912, one of several mills in. The familiar towering concrete silos, painted silver with "H-O Oats" inscribed in black, were added in 1931. It has long been a landmark to travelers driving along the Niagara Thruway.
Oat production at the grain elevator ended in 1983, and a fire in 1987 destroyed a portion of the facility. The building once had three distinct kinds of silos - wood, steel and the surviving concrete. It was demolished in 2006 to make way for a casino.
