Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator B (Rosenfeld, Municipality of Rhineland)
A wooden grain elevator at Rosenfeld, on the CPR Carman Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Rhineland, was built in 1919 and renovated in 1966. An annex was built beside it in 1969, and three steel tanks were added later. Operated by Manitoba Pool Elevators, it was closed around 1996, replaced by a large terminal near Letellier, and demolished in mid-2001.
