Here are some photos of a building that I intend (at some time TBD) to make for my layout. This was Benhams Elevator back when I was a kid growing up in Canandaigua, NY and I remember going there with my Father to get feed for our dairy cattle. The building dates to the early 20th. Century and would have been a busy place back in 1925 (The time on my layout).
We used to load up the pickup truck with burlap bags of feed right here:
Two RR sidings serviced the building. One behind the building that brought in grains and sent out bags of feed to nearby areas. The other was reserved for tank cars of molasses. Molasses was mixed with the feed as it was mixed for the various stock feeds.
Some other shots of the building:
