Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator (Kirkella, RM of Wallace-Woodworth)
Link to:
Agents / Buyers | Photos & Coordinates | Sources
A wooden grain elevator in the village of Kirkella, on the CPR Broadview Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth, was built in 1923 by the Matheson-Lindsay Grain Company (precursor to today’s Parrish & Heimbecker). It was sold in 1928 to the Province Elevator Company and successively to the Canadian Consolidated Grain Company, United Grain Growers, and finally Manitoba Pool Elevators. Renovated in 1965 and 1975, a 60,000-bushel annex was built beside it in 1969. The elevator was removed from the site in 2002.
