Hay Brian, I worked on the construction crew of one of the last wooden grain elevators to go up in the U.S. (Absaraka, North Dakota.....1960). The photo you e-mailed looks like your proportions are right on the money. The head house is the only place any windows should be located since the lower 3/4 is all storage bins. A door on the ground floor in the center of the wall facing the track and a door in the center of the wall facing the truck-in shed are the only other openings you will need. A window could be located next to the truck-in door so the mill-wright can see when he has a customer in the bay. These structures were built with the 2"x planking nailed the flat way to form walls of solid wood all the way to the top of the bins. Corners were built log cabin style with interlocking planking. In more modern times the exterior was sheathed with corrugated metal most often painted silver. We can talk more about this when you come here next week. Don't let the grain dust get in your eyes........Later eh...Larry Sorry Ian, I live so close to Canada that now i'm picking up this "bad" habit too......Just giving you a hard time...Larry
