     History
    Exact year of construction of this building, known as "the old grain silo of Tähkä", is not known, but the scale was installed outside the building in 1962. It's quite likely post-war, though.

    There has never been much activity. As long as I can remember the place has been used to store random stuff. There are traces of some car repair related activity and selling of spare parts.

    The building was abandoned around 2009 when the owner moved all the stuff he stored in the halls to the previously-abandoned "drug factory" next door.

    The old grain silo was destroyed by fire on April 14th, 2011.
