Old grain elevator gets a lift

Rochester -- Volunteers organized by the Rochester-Avon Historical Society put a fresh coat of red paint on the Rochester grain elevator over the weekend.

Professional painters tackled the top of the grain elevator, constructed in 1880, when it was called the Griggs elevator. Society President Rod Wilson said the group is researching the history of the elevator in hopes of having it included on the National Register of Historic Places.

"The building just needs= a lot of TLC right now," Wilson said. "It's privately owned, but the commun= ity owns its heritage."

In its early days, farmers took grain to the elevator, on the corner of East University and Water streets, where it went by train to Detroit. Products such as bird seed and supplies for horses are now sold at the elevator.
