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 stands as a striking and functional example of prairie craftsmanship and history. Constructed with unplaned 2"x8" fir in a traditional stacked build over 100 feet tall, the structure is reinforced with massive fir beams ranging from 4"x4" to 12"x12".
Set on 1.1 acres, this privately owned facility offers a combined estimated capacity of 117,600 bushels between the elevator and annex. The building includes:
Cement foundation
Driveway and receiving scale
Front and back grain pits
Single-phase 220V converted to 3-phase power for the elevator leg motor
Bin wheel and clutch system distributing to hopper-bottom storage bins
Annex bin wheel feeding both internal and external bin rows
Rail/truck load-out pit and spout to former rail spur (graveled for potential reinstallation or truck use)
Indoor truck loading spout, shipping scale, and scale hopper
Dust collection and clean-out system
Office building with electrical panel and furnace
Outhouse
Still in operational condition, this elevator offers not only functional grain handling infrastructure but also unmatched historical value. A 3-phase diesel generator can be added to support expanded power needs. Potential also exists for an outside unloading station on the north side, utilizing a spout where the tracks once ran.
Listed at $199,000. A unique investment in both utility and heritage. Make this a part of your Family legacy and History. Generation to generation.
