In 1908, an iron-clad frame grain elevator was built by the Barnett &amp; Record Company for the Cargill Elevator Company. The elevator was built at a cost of $10,000 and measured 36 x 40 x 70 feet.<\/p>\n<p>In 1912, the firm\u2019s name was changed to the Minneapolis Seed Company because Cargill believed \u201cindependents and Farmer\u2019s Elevators are very strongly prejudiced on the subject of selling seeds to a line company or to any middleman.\u201d\u00a0The elevator was destroyed by fire in 1930 and was replaced with a brick and reinforced concrete seed house measuring 36 x 60 x 100 feet with a 47,000 bushel capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The seed house, constructed by Jason H. Brown Company, functioned like a receiving elevator with bins inside and an attached loading shed. A steel addition was placed at the top of the bins in 1965.\u00a0Today the property is in use as a warehouse owned by a non-grain entity.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a title=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/0Am5fC\" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/0Am5fC\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/0Am5fC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Guthrie Byard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1907, this land\u00a0was purchased by the Terminal Elevator Company, a Cargill &#8230; <a title=\"Minneapolis Seed Company\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/2014\/08\/10\/minneapolis-seed-company\/\" aria-label=\"More on Minneapolis Seed Company\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[19],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/longfellow365.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
