Port Authority of Brooklyn Grain Terminal Building (New York City, New York)

USA / New York / New York City, New York
 abandoned / shut down, production
This massive concrete silo, built in 1922, was once the processing center for grains used for breweries and distilleries shipped down from upstate and the western USA via the Erie Canal. The terminal closed as shipping in Red Hook gave way to New Jersey containerization beginning in the 1950s. With its 54 joined concrete silos, it has been described as looking like "concrete ladyfingers."
