Inglis Grain Elevators

Five standard-plan wooden grain elevators in Inglis are a rare surviving grouping from the long rows that once dominated Prairie towns. Built between 1922 and 1941, during Manitoba's golden age of elevators, the row was constructed by a cross-section of grain-handling firms, including cooperatives and large companies backed by Canadian and American investors. Set in a town typical of many across the West, these slope-shouldered structures stand with their outbuildings, rail line, and surrounding grain fields as powerful symbols of the Prairie landscape and lifestyle.
