This 1959 vintage elevator stands beside a decrepit annex only eight years its senior that looks eight decades its senior. This elevator was built as a replacement for an earlier one, built in 1914. This is an example of the tall flat top, standard plan elevators constructed during the 1950s. These unusually tall elevators possessed larger storage capacity than the medium height sloped shoulder elevators they replaced
This is the last of a trio of elevators that once stood in Parkside. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool sold this elevator to a local group of farmers during the late 1980s.
Luckily for this annex, it and its elevator have been designated a Municipal Heritage Property.
Currently used as a grain elevator: no
