A wooden grain elevator at Rapid City, on the CPR Rapid City Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Oakview, was built in 1926 and operated by Manitoba Pool Elevators. In 1951, a Overgaard annex increased its capacity to 90,000 bushels.
The railway line was abandoned in 1980 and the elevator closed in December 1980. The building was demolished in the fall of 1981.
