A wooden grain elevator and annex at Binscarth, on the CPR Bredenbury Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth, was built in 1928 and a crib annex was added in 1958. The elevator was renovated in 1971 and more extensively in 1981. It was replaced by a new facility in 1997 and the original elevator and annex were later demolished.
