Notes
  • Significance: This silo is a surviving example of a group of several silos built in the period just before the outbreak of World War I, when its site and much of the surrounding lands comprising the old Day Ranch were being developed as tenant farms. Although they failed to serve their function, because the anticipated grain production of the tenant farms was never realized, these silos nevertheless are monuments to the ambitious scheme of land development embarked on by the heirs of Mabel Day Lea and by the Miller family, purchasers of a great portion of the Day Ranch. The silos were poured in forms on the sites and a rock-crushing machine was kept with the forms and mortar-mixing equipment at the Day-Miller Ranch headquarters specifically for the silos construction project.
