About 318 Railway Avenue
A rare opportunity to own a fully operational piece of Alberta’s agricultural legacy. This iconic 1965 Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator in Herronton is a striking and functional example of prairie craftsmanship and history. Built with unplaned 2"x8" fir in a stacked construction over 100 feet tall and reinforced with massive fir beams ranging from 4"x4" to 12"x12", it offers an estimated total capacity of 117,600 bushels between the elevator and annex. Set on 1.1 acres, this privately owned facility includes a cement foundation, driveway, receiving scale, front and back grain pits, and a single-phase 220V system converted to 3-phase to power the elevator leg motor. A bin wheel and clutch system distributes to hopper-bottom storage bins, while the annex bin wheel serves internal and external bin rows. The site also features a rail/truck load-out pit and spout to the former rail spur (now graveled and ready for possible reinstallation or truck use), an indoor truck loading spout, shipping scale and scale hopper, dust collection and clean-out system, office building with electrical panel and furnace, and an outhouse. Still in working condition, the elevator offers both practical infrastructure and significant historical value. A 3-phase diesel generator can be added to support expanded power needs, and a spout on the north side provides potential for an outside unloading station. Listed at $199,000. A truly unique investment in both utility and heritage—make it part of your family legacy for generations to come.
