The sign says Oxford Feed & Grain, but this was originally Kennedy Brothers. The January 1914 edition of "The Operative Miller" reported that the elevator had burned, causing a $12,000 loss and destruction of about 1,200 bushels of grain. The owners planned to rebuild on the same site. The previous elevator was listed in the 1906 "First Annual Report of the Railroad Commission of Indiana" as having a storage capacity of 20,000 bushels.
