If you like spectacular old barns and silos, you’ll appreciate this one from Lake Park, Minnesota! Hollow clay block manufactured at the A. C. Ochs brickyard in Springfield, Minnesota, was used to build many fantastic barns and silos from 1910-1940. Numerous farms across central and southern Minnesota used these blocks to build their barns and silos. Some farms even had both a barn and a silo made of these blocks. However, very few farms had a barn and two silos made of the ACO blocks. In all my travels across Minnesota, I have only seen a total of three barns with double ACO block silos. As neat as the barn is, the story behind the Lake Park Lutheran Children’s Home (LPLCH) is just as interesting.
