Describe contributing and noncontributing resources ifapplicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style,method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity).Summary ParagraphThe Potter and Barker Grain Elevator is located in La Fox, Illinois at 1N298 La Fox Road in Blackberry Township,Kane County. The grain elevator was constructed in 1868 by Benjamin F. Dean for local businessmen LemuelPotter and Henry Barker. The elevator served as a market place for farmers to sell their grain, and also topurchase seeds and fertilizer for crops and feed for livestock. The structure is an example of a transitional designfrom the early one story flathouse elevators to a second stage elevator. The Potter and Barker Grain Elevator wasrecently restored and retains a high degree of historic significance and architectural integrity, making it eligible forlisting on the National Register of Historic Places.Narrative DescriptionThe Potter and Barker Grain Elevator is a small 7,000 bushel grain elevator located in La Fox, Illinois. It is adjacentto the Union Pacific railroad tracks and La Fox Road. The elevator is part of the locally landmarked La Fox HistoricDistrict. The structure is comprised of three sections: the elevator, the powerhouse or engine room, and the binarea. The grain elevator is oriented on an east-west axis, running parallel to the railroad tracks. The grain elevatoris ninety-five feet long. The gable front faces La Fox Road, and measures about twenty-six feet wide with a scaleand drive-through bay measuring about seventeen feet across.The elevator section of the building sits on twenty, tapered, stone foundation piers. The piers are two by threefeet at the base and one and a half by two feet at the top. The structure's floor beams, sills, and framing are eightinch square timbers. The elevator area is post and beam construction. The floor joists are rough-sawn two byeights set on twelve-inch centers. The roof supports are also rough-sawn two by eights. Supplemental four byfour-inch uprights are found throughout the first and second floors, as well as in the roof vent system.The exterior is clad in wood clapboards. A sliding door is still in place on the north side of the building. Woodshingles cover the elevator roof. The wood working floor is west of the elevator's center and has a single staircaseleading to the boot pit, and two staircases leading to the grain distribution level on the second floor.Immediately south of the elevator is the scale house and grain receiving pit. The scale house is located in thecenter of structure and sheltered by a roof plane which extends south from the gable roof of the elevator section,creating a saltbox roof. Wagons with grain entered the scale platform from the west and exited at the east side ofthe elevator. Once the wagon was weighed, a wooden trap covering the receiving pit would be opened, and thegrain in the wagon would be unloaded into the pit with an auger. The receiving pit is of concrete constructionwith an auger extending under the first floor of the south wall of the elevator to the grain boot. The scale pit hasa stone foundation measuring eight feet by twenty-two feet. The scale platform is wood double planked. A smalleight foot by four foot, six inch enclosure for the operator is attached to the south wall. The beam scale locatedthere is a 10,000 pound capacity, manufactured by Howe.Another auger extends the length of the building, the floor of which had openings to permit the transfer of bulkgrain from storage bins to the elevator. Both augers deposited the grain at a central point from which a conveyorwith small buckets raised the material to a headhouse where it went into a chute that was used for loadingrailroad cars situated on the north side of the structure. The entire auger system and a portion of the conveyor3
United States Department of the InteriorNational Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration FormNPS Form 10-900Potter and Barker Grain ElevatorName of PropertyOMB No. 1024-0018Kane County, IllinoisCounty and Statesystem have been restored and remain in place today. The scale house is of frame construction, measuring thirtysix feet deep by seventeen feet across with wood clapboards and a wood shingle roof.Grain was moved north to the leg by a belt driven, eight inch auger in a wooden trough. The leg moved the grainup to the cupola with a nine inch wide belt carrying eight by six inch buckets on twenty inch centers. When thegrain reached the head of the leg, it was distributed by a wood chute to bins or out the north side of the elevatorinto railroad cars. Two wooden spouts on the first floor emptied the bins into an eight inch auger running in awooden trough that brought the grain back to the leg for loading rail cars. The head pulley on the leg and bothaugers were belt driven from a line shaft that was belt driven by a 8HP single cylinder hit and miss gasolineengine with a clutch pulley to engage and disengage the power to the leg. This was installed in the early 1900sand used until the last time the elevator operated in 1945. The space inside the elevator and the scale house arearemain intact and convey the historic use of the structure.Attached to the west side of the elevator is a one story wood powerhouse/engine room and bin area. Thepowerhouse measures twenty-four feet by twenty-five feet. The bin area measures thirty-two feet by twenty-fivefeet. Both spaces have been converted into a display space for the museum and house historic farm implements.The area has a concrete slab foundation and frame construction with a metal roof. The powerhouse and bin areais sided with wood clapboards.On the south façade there are three sliding doors. One standard size door is located in the powerhousecompartment for humans and two oversize doors are located in the bin area for access for larger machinery ortrucks. To the east of the standard door is a nine-light fixed window.There are four sliding doors on the north side of the powerhouse and bin area which served as access to the grainby rail cars parked on the adjacent track. One sliding door is located in the center of the powerhouse space andthe remaining three are symmetrically placed along the bin area.The Potter and Barker Grain Elevator has experienced minor changes over time, but the form of the building,scale, unloading pit, and auger system all remain and clearly identify the historic function of this building and theprocess which occurred at the site.In 2003, the grain elevator was relocated (see Figure 1) to accommodate the installation of Metra’s third rail.Because, the grain elevator was previously determined eligible, Metra was required to mitigate any adverseimpacts to the historic resource under Section 106. In lieu of demolition or removal of the grain elevator to anout-of-context site, Metra and the owner, with review by the State Historic Preservation Office, agreed to movethe grain elevator roughly 260 feet west, maintaining the structures original configuration, setting, and historiccontext along the railroad. Metra was responsible for the relocation and for installing a historically accurate newfieldstone foundation for the grain elevator, using the existing foundation as historic evidence.Under the National Register of Historic Places guidelines a moved or relocated property is usually not eligible forlisting, however the Potter and Barker Grain Elevator was previously determined eligible and moved inaccordance with National Park Service Section 106 regulations.Under Criteria Consideration B a moved property may be eligible if:“A moved property significant under Criterion C must retain enough historic features to convey itsarchitectural values and retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.”4
United States Department of the InteriorNational Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration FormNPS Form 10-900Potter and Barker Grain ElevatorName of PropertyOMB No. 1024-0018Kane County, IllinoisCounty and StateThe Potter and Barker Grain Elevator retains significant architectural integrity and was not altered toaccommodate the move. The property was moved to be preserved in lieu of demolition or unsympatheticalterations. The move and new foundation work was reviewed and approved by the State Historic PreservationOffice under the National Park Service Section 106 requirements.Additionally, a property; whether moved before, during, or after the property’s period of significance, may beeligible for the National Register, if it meets the requirements of maintaining “an orientation, setting, and generalenvironment that are comparable to those of the historic location and that are compatible with the property'ssignificance.”The original site and current site has a consistent and uniform appearance of the natural and built environment,at only 260 feet apart, and the new site is compatible with the property’s significance and historic location,directly adjacent to the railroad.After the grain elevator was moved the current owner, Michael Zoch, completed restoration and reconstructionwork in 2006 to repair deteriorated elements and open the structure as a local history and farming museum (seelist of work below).Following is a list of completed work during the 2003 relocation and 2006 restoration:Relocation: A new historically-accurate fieldstone foundation was installed at the current site. Five originalfoundation piers remain at the original site as a historic marker and educational interpretation. (SeeFigure 4).Restoration: The cupola was restored. (See Exterior Photographs). The original grain elevator/scale was restored. (See Interior Photograph Key, Photographs 13-16, 25,and 30-31).Repair: Some deteriorated rafters were replaced. (See Interior Photograph Key, Photograph 8).Reconstruction: Reconstruction of the lean-to along the south elevation. The original lean-to had rotted and wasreplaced with a greenhouse in 1986. The greenhouse was then removed before the relocation andthe existing lean-to reconstructed in the fourteen by thirty-two foot footprint of the original lean-toafter the relocation. (See Exterior Photograph Key, Photograph 1). Clapboards were replaced with historically accurate reconstructions. The original clapboards had beencovered with sheet metal and had rotted to reveal large gaps in the siding. (See ExteriorPhotographs). The doors on the south elevation of the rear were reconstructed based on historic photographicevidence. The sliding mechanisms and frames are original. In the 1980s the owners converted theexisting door openings to storefronts. In 2006, the owner removed the storefronts and installed thereconstructed doors. (See Exterior Photograph Key, Photograph 4).5

Historically, the floor was onlyaccessible by climbing up the wall. (See Interior Photograph Key, Photographs 10 and 18).An opening in the east wall of the storage space at the rear of the building was cut to allow forcirculation through the museum. (See Interior Photograph Key, Photographs 21 and 22).The pair of doors located at the front and rear of the grain elevator were added. Historically, the grainelevator would have been continuously open to the elements and people. The doors were added tosecure the grain elevator and museum exhibitions and protect the structure from rain, wind, andsnow. The doors were designed to complement the exterior and existing doors and do not deter fromthe grain elevator. (See Exterior Photograph Key, Photograph 1 and 3).The architectural work completed by the owner has preserved the grain elevator and restored or reconstructedelements which had deteriorated beyond repair. The owners have also installed the museum displays in asensitive and reversible manner. Because of the care taken with the relocation and restoration, the Potter andBarker Grain Elevator retains sufficient integrity to convey both its historic and architectural significance.6
