End of an Era: Manitoba Municipality moves to dismantle historic Lyleton Elevator
For nearly a century, the Manitoba Pool Elevator in Lyleton has towered over the prairie landscape, a reminder of the town’s farming roots and the rail line that once connected it to the wider world. Built in 1928, the wooden structure has long been empty, its frame now twisted by wind and time. Local officials say the elevator is no longer safe, and demolition is the only option. Its loss is bittersweet — another prairie sentinel fading into memory, even as others still endure.
