"End of the Line: Red Deer: Elevator Row" is outside the front doors of the Red Deer Museum & Art Gallery. The work was completed in steel/composite materials in 2011 by Karen Ho Fatt.
The accompanying plaque reads: Inspired by the history of our area and recognizing the "MAG" as a promoter of both art and history. These prairie icons are quickly disappearing and being replaced with the larger concrete 'inland terminals' seen today. While one elevator appears complete the others are tilted or only partially clad to reflect the decay and destruction of these sentinels. The bench seating references the rail line as it meandered across the plains tying the small communities together. Their colours are reminiscent of ones used by grain companies for these structures.
