Old Globe's grain-worn bin walls go uptown
Inspired Home Magazine, in its March-April 2013 issue, runs a fabulous six-page spread on a "metro-prairie-style" condominium that features grain-eroded bin wall slabs from the historic Globe Elevator. The unusual material is used for accent walls in the foyer and to clad the surfaces of the kitchen island. The two-story "SkyBarn," designed by architect Chris Hawley of Radiant Homes, sits above the horizon and features a 3,081 square foot living area with two roof decks that offer panoramic views of historic downtown Fargo.
