Saskatchewan Pool Elevator Company had purchased the Lake of the Woods elevator, and named their elevators "A" and "B". In 1973, United Grain Growers built an elevator at #61 South Front Street. The Parrish and Heimbecker elevator was also located on the same row years before but was removed and a new one was constructed at #25 Seventh Avenue North in 1953.
