Built by Joseph Englar, this is one of the oldest extant buildings of its type in the country, heralded in its day as the finest grain elevator along the Western Maryland Railway. It was a tremendous boon to local farmers whose grain could now be processed, stored, and loaded directly into railroad cars for transport to Baltimore, an otherwise two-day wagon ride. It reflects the importance of grain production to the economy of Carroll County, then among the richest grain producers in the state. The two-and-a-half-story frame structure has a gable roof with a tall monitor, decorative exposed rafters, and distinctive framed window surrounds. The site includes a two-story office addition, warehouse and loading dock, and its original mill machinery, including the interior elevator.
