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.

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