From The New West magazine
Design Showcase: Ag Chic
By Anne Medley, 1-31-08
Jill Baumler's home near Bozeman, a 70-foot-tall grain elevator that once housed up to 28,000 bushels, is part of a new trend -- albeit small -- of rehabilitating tattered artifacts of the West's booming agriculture economy.
"There's a real interest in our past and the things of our past," says Bruce Selyem, the founder of the Country Grain Elevator Historical Society. Restoring churches, schools and barns has been popular for some time, Selyem says, but just in the last decade or so, "the grain elevator has become a symbol of the same thing."
