A 12,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at the railway siding of Martinville, on the Northern Pacific & Manitoba Railway line in the Rural Municipality of Cornwallis, was built around 1889 by the Winnipeg-based firm of Martin and Mitchell, later part of the Northern Elevator Company. The last record of its existence came from 1901. The limestone foundation and pit were still visible during a 2017 site visit.
