A 25,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at the railway siding of Orrville, on the CNR Rossburn Subdivision, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah, was built sometime before 1912 for the British American Elevator Company. Its existence was short-lived, being gone by 1918. Concrete foundations were still visible at the time of a 2013 site visit.
