WINONA, Minn. – An aged CHS grain elevator at the Winona fleeting harbor has lost its aluminum cladding in a preliminary step of being razed. Always an eyesore, it’s even more so now for the moment.
Outdated and naked. The skeleton shows at the elevator being torn down at the sprawling CHS river, truck and rail grain-shipping complex. The elevator is on Bierce Street stub off Prairie Island Road. Image: Steve Lunde
