Murtoa No. 1 Grain Shed
Murtoa No. 1 Grain Shed, also known as the Murtoa Stick Shed, is a large grain store (silo) in Murtoa, a town in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia. Constructed in 1942 and almost 20 metres (66 ft) high, 260 metres (850 ft) long, 60 metres (200 ft) wide, the building is an example of Australian rural architecture with its use of unmilled timber poles and corrugated iron.[1]
The store was listed on the Australian National Heritage List in 2014, recognising its place "as a significant part of Australia’s history associated with Australia’s wheat industry and the impact of World War Two on the home front".[1]
