A 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator in Dunrea, on the CNR Hartney Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, was built in 1899 by Ogilvie Flour Mills. Sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1960, becoming its C elevator, the house was closed in 1967, sold to the Wellwood Hutterite Colony, and removed from the site.
