Historic Sites of Manitoba: Smith / Arthur Family Grain Elevator (Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone)This small wooden grain elevator, built around 1905, is a rare surviving example of an efficient, grain-handling facility used on progressive farms of the early 20th century. Designed to receive and, with the aid of mechanical equipment, store grain in separate bins, a system of chutes fed grain from upper to lower bins. The structure, lacking its elevator mechanism, is still used for grain storage in a private yard site in the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone. It is a municipally-designated historic site.
