The Buffalo Grain Silos
Updated March 2011 | By Matthew Christopher
The interiors of abandoned grain elevators can be very uninteresting subjects; aside from the bottoms of the silos and the rooms at the very top (which frequently are long empty halls, having been stripped of their machinery). The Buffalo Grain Silos, however, had old conveyor belts, wooden shelves, and many other remnants. Still, the best experience of the trip was finally reaching the top of the rickety spiral staircase that seemed to go on forever and resting on the roof, overlooking the city. It was a welcome break, and the view was spectacular.
