~ GRAIN ELEVATORS ~
Uploaded: December 19, 2012 19:18:17
Ardell is not a town, or even a community. It's barely even a railroad crossing. Even so, it's home to one of just two buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in Edwards County, Kansas. The Gano Grain Elevator has been standing next to the railroad tracks since July, 1915. The grain industry was booming that year, and a total of five elevators suddenly sprung up at Ardell. The Gano structure, in the background, received its name after one of its original co-owners, George Cano. It was capable of storing 15,000 bushels. In fact, it still is. The old structure is in fairly good condition, even though it is no longer used. Just a few hundred feet east of the Gano, in the foreground, stands another elevator. It was built just two months before its neighbor, but looks to be at least two decades older.
