Historic Sites of Manitoba: Federal Grain Elevator (Grosse Isle, RM of Rockwood)Link to: A wooden grain elevator in Grosse Isle, on the CNR Oak Point Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Rosser, was built around 1911 by the Manitoba Grain Commission. It was later operated successively by United Grain Growers (two years), Smith Murphy and Company (two years), A. J. Lobb (1918-1928), Wiley Low and Company (1928-1932), and Federal Grain (1932-1970). In July 1971, after the elevator had closed, it was moved to the Woodland Hutterite Colony. Agents / Buyers
