Historic Sites of Manitoba: Northern Grain Elevator / National Grain Elevator B / Cargill Grain Elevator B (Roblin, Municipality of Roblin)

A wooden grain elevator at Roblin, on the CNR Togo Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Roblin, was built before 1912 by the Northern Elevator Company. Merged into National Grain in 1940, becoming National B, new annexes were built beside it in 1951 and 1968. Sold to Cargill Grain in 1975, the facility was closed and demolished in July 1998.
