After two moves across the Sturgeon Bay waterfront the past few years, the Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator took its final step in placement on Wednesday morning at its original and permanent location.  Engineers, construction contractors, and movers did the final inspection and lowered the top two-story bin structure on top of the 18-foot restored columns. 

Sturgeon Bay Historical Society President Christie Weber shared the progress on Tuesday and the final work to be completed with the project. 

James Dahlman, a lead engineer from Greenfire Management Services, added that after the granary is in place and secured with braces, the cribbing will be removed, and sheer walls will be put on. 

Refurbished boards and corrugated metal siding from an old granary in Superior, Wisconsin, will be added to the exterior in the next week or two. Weber noted that plans are for a kitchen to be added to the original structure for catering events. After the granary is fully restored, it will be a three-season public facility.  

The Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator was built in 1901 and is on the state and National Register of Historic Places.
