Historic structure to get modern new life in Utah town

Hyrum • A northern Utah bank is dismantling and rebuilding a historic small-town grain elevator for its new “Scandinavian-modern” building in Hyrum.

The tall wood structure, now weathered with age, was first built in 1918 by the Holley-Globe and Milling Company, the Herald Journal reported.

It's been a fixture in the small town for a century, but soon it will get a new life: front and center into Cache Valley Bank's new location. Workers began lifting sections of the structure with a crane this week.

The bank wanted a building that was both creative and embodied the town.
