Stained Glass - Elevator

For many growing up on the Canadian prairies, wooden grain elevators were more than just buildings. They represented the pioneering spirit and faith in a good harvest. Elevators could be seen for miles and were used as landmarks to give people from "far away" directions. Once numbering around 4000, today under 100 wooden elevators remain. An elevator, grain fields and two toned sky make up this stained glass panel, measuring 13 inches. This item was made and donated by Lori Ross.
