Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator / Private Grain Elevator (Grain Elevator Trail, Sinclair, RM of Pipestone)Link to: A wooden grain elevator at Sinclair, on the CPR Arcola Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone, was built in 1928 by Manitoba Pool Elevators on behalf of a local association. In 1965, a new crib annex was built on the west side of the elevator, increasing its original 50,000-bushel capacity to 151,400 bushels. Renovations made in 1976 included installation of a digital scale, a new hoist, a second leg, and a new driveshed and office. Closed in 2002, the elevator was sold into private ownership. Used for a few years for local grain storage, it has been unused for over a decade, according to local residents. Agents / Buyers
