Eastlake Farmers Co-Operative Elevator Company

The Eastlake Farmers Co-Operative Elevator Company, built in 1920 in Thornton, Colorado, is a historic grain elevator that showcases High Plains architecture. This vacant structure highlights the evolution of grain storage from single to multiple grains and reflects the transition from rail to truck transportation in rural Adams County. Notable for its studded elevator construction technique, it stands as a unique example of early 20th-century agricultural engineering amidst suburban development. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, making it a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike.
