Description
Winter Silo is a photograph taken of the 'haunted silos' in Northville Township, Michigan. Also called the 'haunted' silos. The Detroit House of Corrections built a "prison farm" on the property in 1920, which included a structure (barn) with the four silos. The first group of prisoners were kept in tents rather than a solid structure. In 1930 a newer prison facility was constructed further east on Ridge Road. The quad-silos have since been torn down to build a shopping and residential area.
