The Chase Grain Elevator is a grain elevator located in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.[1] It was built in 1922 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[2] It is the last known tile elevator remaining in Wisconsin.[1]

History

Chase Grain Elevator was constructed in 1922 on the site of a previous Chase & Sons elevator that burned down in the winter of 1921–22. The fireproof tile elevator was planned to have a capacity of 13,500 bushels.[3] In March 1922, it was expected to cost $20,000 (Шаблон:Currency today).[4]

The elevator is said to illustrate experimental construction techniques during the transition from between wood and concrete elevators. Tile elevator construction ended around 1925.[1]

The elevator consists of two cylindrical grain bins, with a third "pocket" bin created from a semi-circle of tile linking the two main bins.[1]
