"Silo City" is a unique complex of industrial buildings preserving a rich part of Buffalo's heritage. Grain was shipped from the far west of the Great Lakes on large lake steamers to Buffalo, where it was offloaded and stored in silos before being shipped on to the east coast via the Erie canal and the railroads. Many of Buffalo's elevators and silos closed down in the 1950s and 60s and have been left derelict and decaying ever since part of a paradise of industrial archaeology for the photographer.
