Curry Brothers Limited was established by brothers Garth Clarence Curry (1929-1998) and Lawrence Donald “Larry” Curry (1932-2014). They built steel granaries manufactured by Behlen Industries of Brandon as well as steel sheds, and cattle and hog fencing. In 1978, the business was one of the top five sellers of steel structures in Canada.
The building along highway 244, near Manitou in the Municipality of Pembina, stood vacant for a number of years before being demolished in April 2023.
