A wooden grain elevator at Roblin, on the CNR Togo Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Roblin, was built between 1906 and 1907 by the British America Elevator Company. Merged into National Grain in 1940, becoming the company’s A elevator at this site, the facility was sold to Cargill Grain in 1975. The facility was closed and demolished in May 1986.
