Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator (Riverton, Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton)Link to: A wooden grain elevator at Riverton, on the CPR Winnipeg Beach Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton, was built in 1949 by Manitoba Pool Elevators. A nearby Federal Grain elevator, purchased in 1971, was moved beside it and converted into an annex. After use of the railway from Gimli ended in 1988, the facility was operated as an off-track facility. Finally closed in December 1990, the structure was demolished. Agents / Buyers
