The Great Northern Elevator is a grain storage facility at 250 Ganson Street in Buffalo, New York. The elevator is located on the City Ship Canal and at the time of its completion in 1897, the elevator was the world's largest. The elevator was the first to employ cylindrical steel bins for grain storage, and also one of the first to run on electricity. The brick curtain wall does not support the bins or the working house and was designed as weatherproofing only.
