The Jesse Knight Grain Elevator.

A 50,000 bushel concrete grain elevator, located west of Eureka in Tintic Valley, off U.S. Highway 36.

Constructed in 1915 by the Union Grain and Elevator Company of the Knight Investment Company.

This structure was part of the Knight Farm, owned by Tintic mining entrepreneur Jesse Knight. Essentially a dry farming venture, the farm represented one of the largest in the Tintic Valley and illustrates Knight’s concern and involvement in all aspects of life in a mining area from mines to power plants, mills, smelters, railroads, drain tunnels, and farming.
