As part of its historical preservation, the surviving Eastlake Farmers Co-Operative Grain Elevator underwent a structural assessment.  Repairs were made to its metal clad exterior and it was painted "grain elevator" white.  Click to see a before and after picture of the elevator and an up close graphic of its Heritage Trail educational signage.

The elevator is located at 126th Avenue and Claude Court and just west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.  It was built in 1920 and named to the National Register of Historic Places and Colorado State Register of Historic Properties on May 17, 2010, in recognition of this property's contribution to the heritage of the State of Colorado.  Please feel free to contact Diane Van Fossen at diane.vanfossen@cityofthornton.net with any questions regarding the project. 

If you have questions regarding the history of the elevator or the national or state register programs, please contact robert.larsen@cityofthornton.net for more information.
