East End Grain Co. owned the property which these 4 grain silos were located on. The grain silos occupied 2 acres worth of land. These 4 grain silos were located on the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The grain silos used to be connected to a freight rail line next to the railroad tracks which separate the East End neighborhood from Downtown.

The first known renovations to the grain silos occurred during the 1930s. In 1940, all 4 grain silos were renovated again. The silos not only operated as grain silos but as gravel silos as well. Cement concrete was mixed and manufactured inside these silos.
