We will be reclaiming not only the valuable antique wood but also the unique hardware and antique barn tin from The Lake Of The Woods elevator. Located in Elva Manitoba Canada this grain elevator dates back to 1897 and sits beside a United Grain Growers elevator dating back to 1916. Both of these historical giants share the same destiny.
