Located immediately adjacent to the railroad tracks are three grain elevators with construction dates of circa 1892 and 1897-98. Although originally frame in construction, they have since been covered with pressed tin and a number of grain bins have been added to the system, which is now operated by Calumet Feed & Supply. The north elevator was built by H.H. Greve, while the southern two were erected by H.C. Timm Sr.; by 1908, all three were operated by H.C. Timm & Co.
