In 1919 the Reardan Grain Growers built an elevator at Denny Station.

Sometime between 1919 and 1931 the grain elevator became known as Eleanor, named after a daughter of William and Maggie Hanning born in 1900 in Minnesota. The family appears in the 1910 census 3-5 May) on the Edwall road, but his birth country (Germany) was refused as were the names of his wife and children in the census for Waukon. They are also included in the Mondovi census (13 April), and this time they are named and birth places identified. The family was again in Minnesota in 1920. [doesn't seem right, but Mary was born there and she should have been in Reardan school starting around 1926.] They were again in the Reardan Census in 1930.

The railroad tracks were removed in the late 1970s.
