Bradford White Corp., Westburne Supply, and Watercraft Plumbing and Heating Co. Inc. have collaborated to turn a 25 ft. storage silo into one of the biggest, if not the world's largest, representation of a water heater.
Located in Suamico, Wis., about 8.5 miles north of Green Bay, the idea to convert the storage silo came to Jerry Weslow, President of Watercraft, when he was faced with a dilemma of what to do about an old abandoned barn and an adjacent silo on the company's property. The two structures were originally bound for destruction, but the local township encouraged the company to keep them in tact to preserve the community's rural atmosphere.
