NOT MAJESTIC, but admirable for solidity, the old Ray-Carroll grain elevator in Richmond takes weeks to demolish. The first image dates to Feb. 9. The second shows the 1-ton wrecking ball that is set to strike. Taken Feb. 15, the third image shows significant destruction. TEARING DOWN the unused Ray-Carroll grain elevator on Old Highway 10, Richmond, takes Earthworks Excavating, Higginsville, a couple of weeks. But wrecking is not all the job requires. Climbing atop a pile of debris left over from the elevator’s demolition, a claw scoops concrete into one of several dump trucks being used Feb. 25 to clear the site. J.C. VENTIMIGLIA | Staff BY MARCH 4, only remnants of the old grain elevator remain.
