Historic Sites of Manitoba: Paterson Grain Elevator (Dufrost, RM of De Salaberry)
A wooden grain elevator at Dufrost, on the CPR Emerson Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry, was built in 1938 by Paterson Grain, using materials salvaged from an elevator at Kincaid, Saskatchewan. With a crib annex (1950) and balloon annex (1960) on either side, it had a total capacity of 100,000 bushels. It continued to be registered as a grain storage facility until 1999, and was demolished in August 2000.
