Bruyer Granary
A cribbed granary built by Julius Bruyer and his sons in 1909.
Built as a smaller version of large, commercial grain elevators prevelant along the Great Lakes and railroad tracks.
Built to hold up to 11,000 bushels
Built using the cribbing method, pieces of wood, one for each side, laid flat to make a square and then subsequent boards stacked on top to make the walls.
The granary was built so that a loaded wagon could drive up alongside it, and then using a hand cranking system, the loaded wagon would be lifted to the second story window, unloaded and placed down on the other side so that another wagon could be lifted up at the same time.
Listed on the National Historic Register
