The backside of The Silo, an eatery in Lewiston, New York
A former coal silo that supplied steamers belonging to the Canada Steamship Lines with fuel, was converted in 1998 into a restaurant with a spectacular view of Lewiston's waterfront.
Unfortunately it was closed when I was there but you can see The Silo's menu HERE.

Great idea for the restaurant. I like the second shot with the turret too.
You really ought to publish a guide book of your area, packed with your great photos.
I wouldn't mind one of the chicken sandwiches :)
I think that would be a great experience to eat in a place like this!
Have a good week!
Interesting adaptive reuse. I'll probably eat there for posterity and have one of their salad with my chicken ;-)
That's definitely resourceful and brilliant! I'll go for the mushroom burger! ;)
that is a very interesting building.
That's an imaginative use for a redundant building. I read the menu - I feel full now!
what a unique structure for a restaurant! it'll be interesting to see what's inside.:p
Great finds for RT.

Now that's a cool silo! Wish all were like that.
Wonderful shot! Wonderful silo!
XOXO Lola:)
That is a neat restaurant! The top of this eatery seems to be a flying saucer or UFO that settled on top. The food may not be the best health wise, but quite a comfort food treat!

Happy RT!

Wow, that is triple cool. I would go there just for the view. Maybe just have beer even if the food isn't any good.
I would love to see this in person!
very cool.

Perfect place for a restaurant. Please have a great tuesday.
This looks like a unique dining experience! Fascinating shot!
Wow....I bet that is a terrific dining experience!!! Is the food good?

Do stop by when you get a chance!! Happy Tuesday.
I love when buildings get a 2nd life
this is great!!
How super cool to renovate this structure into a restaurant! Looks like my kinda place. Of course I was going to ask you if the food was good, until I read that it was closed when you were there. Glad you stopped to photograph it, EG. Happy Ruby T to you!
I'll have the Mushroom Swiss burger, please. Medium-well.
;-)
Cool building for a restaurant! I like it. It's rather close to the road, though.
Very nice pic! And a great idea for such an original silo!
Thanks for sharing;o)
