A wooden grain elevator at Basswood, on the CPR Bredenbury Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Oakview, was built before 1909 by the Pearson Elevator Company. Sold in 1917 to Bawlf Grain, it was re-sold to the Alberta Pacific Grain Company (1941) then to Manitoba Pool Elevators (1943). Closed in 1976, it was sold in 1978 to the local curling club. They demolished it to obtain lumber to build a new curling rink.
