Patricia this was a grain tower back in the day. I think it was built somewhere around 1911. It also had additional attached buildings at one time. There was a short film about it on some Chicago public station last year . I tried an old link, but it said it could not be found. If I do locate it I'll pass it on to you. Thanks for your kind words.

This painting is amazing! I know people refer to this castle like building as Bum's Castle but I am looking for the history on this building. Some say it use to be an IC grain elevator. Does anyone know.

Thanks Derick, this piece holds many memories for me as well. Anyone from Harvey can relate to this place as it could be seen from most places through the town.
