The Sunday before last. The route was Ann Arbor, Dexter, Chelsea, Taylor, Maumee, Toledo.

307 miles (~500km) in my very stinky work van 🫠
A very busy route that heads west from Detroit to the western rural Ann Arbor-ish area, before heading back to the southern Detroit metro. From there I went west down I94 to US23 which took me to Maumee, Ohio. I did one last stop in Toledo before heading back up I75.

Dexter Agriculture Association (f.1919) (b.<1920)
Dexter, Washtenaw County Michigan.

The co-op converted an old house into an elevator in 1920. It burnt down in 1949.

#vintage #photos #oldbuildings #grainelevators #farming #mills #agriculture #historic #dexter #washtenaw #michigan
Dexter's old wooden grain elevator some time in the 1940's. It looks like a Greek Revival style house converted into an elevator. A large shed sits behind it to the left, and a 1940's flatbed truck sits under a canopy held up by the elevator. The Dexter Co-op grain elevator is completely engulfed in flames. All that can be seen is the top of the elevator with a sign that says "Dexter Co-op Co." Firefighters and civilians crowd around the village landmark. A truck similar to the one in the first picture is pulled up on the side near a group of on-lookers.
