A 35,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Ebor, on the CPR Reston Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone, was built in 1927 for the Liberty Grain Company. Two years later, the company merged into the Searle Grain Company and it operated until 1960 when the adjacent railway line was abandoned. Sold in 1965 to Clarence Boone, a farmer who lived about three miles west of Virden, the elevator was moved to his farm. Its present status is unknown.
