Wisconsin's Vanishing Silos

Legacies in Stone, Brick, and Wood

Most silos builders remain anonymous. The only exception I have found are silos built by the Beaver Silo and Box Company of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Beaver Silos have a very unique metal bracket that fastens the wood silo to the concrete base. This iron bracket is embossed with the manufacturers name.
