Viterra operates this grain elevator and rail-loading dock in Minneapolis, part of the city's historic milling corridor along the Mississippi River. A rail spur runs beneath the raised loading bay, allowing hopper cars to be positioned directly under the elevator for grain transfer. The brick sections of the structure date to the early milling era, while the teal steel additions reflect later expansions common to grain-handling facilities upgraded for modern rail operations.
