According to Images of America: Ellington, from the Ellington Historical Society:

"The Lanz Dairy Farm on the north side of Frog Hollow Road is shown in this aerial view looking west toward East Windsor. The silo is the tallest in Ellington and withstood the Hurricane of 1938 although other buildings and the nearby Kelley and Patric farms on Frog Hollow suffered extensive damage."
