After the Harvest: Indiana's Historic Grain Elevators and Feed Mills

After the Harvest: Indiana's Historic Grain Elevators and Feed Mills by John Bower. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780974518633.

The latest book from STUDIO INDIANA, After the Harvest, Indianas historic grain elevators and feed mills, celebrates these magnificent, and vanishing, structures. At one time, nearly every Indiana town had a local grain elevator, or a feed mill. Towering above the landscape—often taller than trees, church steeples, main street stores, and even some courthouses—these stark, geometric buildings were the castles of the Hoosier heartland. Today, many of the smaller operations have been abandoned and stand forlornly in our midst. Acclaimed Hoosier photographer John Bower has captured the dignity and vitality that remains around these still-impressive storehouses. It is his belief that “we should never forget how they have been integral to the definition of our state—and who we are as a people.”
