[AT] Old Grain Elevator and flat belt question

[Rob Gray]

That is an interesting looking building. I've always had some interest 
in stone structures since I lived in one as a kid and I now live in an 
old stone farmhouse. We don't have any stone grain elevators around here 
that I know of but there are a lot of old stone grain/grist mills from 
the 1700's era. They are very interesting buildings if you ever get a 
chance to tour one. The big gears and grinding stones are a sight to see.
