From [*Heritage of the High Country: A History of Del Bonita and Surrounding Districts*](/books#heritage-of-the-high-country) (Del Bonita Historical Society, 1981), printed p. 34; PDF scan 48. ISBN 0-88925-190-8.

Caption: “Whiskey Gap elevator blown down by wind after demolition had begun.” The caption and image were visually checked against the original PDF page.

**Date: Undated.** The printed photograph caption gives no date or elevator number. Page 49 separately records elevator No. 2 being dismantled in February 1979. The image is shown beside that dated account as related context; this is not an independently verified date or identification for the photographed elevator.
