Photo 96-CDA-30

Are we sure about the date of this photo? This looks like the Inmont plant, possibly under construction, but that happened in 1972.

This is not the Inmont plant; this is a seeds plant(might have been Dekalb). Inmont (now BASF) is 1/2 mile west of here across US 127 next to the old Corning plant.

I worked a few years there myself, but the tall building was enclosed completely (6-7 stories) I crawled all over those buildings, in 74-74, painted all but that one. The left side building in the photo was 55-60 feet tall. It was Dekalb in those days, and 2018, the warehouse has been doubled, (right) and silos and left building is gone.
