Abandoned Grain Elevator

This Abandoned Grain Elevator is made from cribbed lumber, and probably had six different bins internally for storing of different grains until sold & shipped by either rail or trucked. Named after T.P. Boyd, and established in 1861, Boyd was once a thriving town until the decision to build a highway bypassing it was constructed in 1923. That was the beginning of the end for Boyd. The great depression put the finishing touches on a town that was already reeling from low wheat prices and decreasing numbers of travellers. (Boyd, Oregon)
