They're stout alright. What you can't see in many of the old elevators is the cross bracing. They aren't just a big room. Grain is really heavy and will push the walls out. Many of them used steel rods going through opposite walls.

I painted an old grainery built in 1913 i believe here in south dakota. It was quite tall, maybe 80 ft?? It was built that way and straight as an arrow all the way up. Had been through 3 tornados. Very sturdy structure.
