GRAIN ELEVATORS

The mostly abandoned grain elevators of Buffalo’s waterfront are often referred to as a concrete Atlantis. These sturdy commercial cathedrals were this nation’s breadbasket, with Buffalo trans-shipping more grain than any other U.S. port. By 1900, more than 52 grain elevators abutted Buffalo’s waterfront. Many of these wooden silos burned down due to the combustible nature of grain dust. Today, more than two dozen concrete reinforced elevators remain, although only three are still commercially active. Most are cavernous, quiet giants. Sentinels of a time when Buffalo was the sixth busiest port in the world.
