A wooden grain elevator at Foxwarren, on the CPR Bredenbury Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Prairie View, was built in 1958 by Manitoba Pool Elevators, replacing an earlier elevator destroyed by fire in July 1957. A crib annex was built beside it in 1967. The elevator and annex were demolished in December 2000.
