No, no confusion at all. In this part of the world a grain elevator is just as you say it is. The West (where we grow most of our wheat) used to have one in every town. Not so much any more due to the way commodities are shipped and (not) warehoused. We also used to have huge concrete ones in the major port cities, but they're obsolete now - where they still exist, they're empty and unused.

Most of the time they're so massive and well-built that it's not worth the cost to demolish them, so they sit there, reminding us of the past.
