Oxidé

Silo No. 5 is the last-remaining grain silo at the Old Port of Montreal.
Over the last decade or so, it’s been occasionally used as a musical instrument but normally sits unused, awaiting a new vocation. Not directly threatened by demolition, heritage and preservation enthusiasts/activists keep a close eye on this structure.
