Today we talk to Dr. Gordon Goldsborough to get a little insight into his interest in historic buildings.
We also talk to Darin Morash about a tv program pitch involving Dr. Goldsborough, our historic buildings.
And in-between we reveal which historic building is #10 on the list!
Manitoba Pool Grain ElevatorTyndall, RM of Brokenhead
This 35,000-bushel wooden grain elevator was built around 1948 by the Lake of the Woods Milling Company. Sold to Ogilvie Four Mills in 1954, it was re-sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1959 and expanded with an attached balloon annex. Closed in 1971, it was sold and used by a livestock feed business until around 2012. One of the last remaining elevators in eastern Manitoba, plans to move it to the nearby Brokenhead-Beausejour Pioneer Village Museum have stalled. Recent sale of the property puts the elevator at risk of demolition.
