The grain elevator is a monumental agricultural structure from a time long since past. Wooden grain elevators such as this Alberta Wheat Pool elevator, near Chauvin Alberta, were once a common sight throughout the prairies but with changes in agricultural practices, they have since been made obsolete by larger central terminals made of concrete. With most of these wooden elevators having since been abandoned and torn down, it is rare to find one this intact, and without proper conservation, historic buildings such as this one will one day be gone from the landscape entirely. #photography #abandonedplaces #abandoned #architecture #prairie #alberta #canada #travelphotography #travel #travelalberta #iphone12 #grain #grainelevator #historic #historicarchitecture #landmark #historiclandmark https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOfBawvyBp/?utm_medium=tumblr
