Wynndel Grain Elevator
“The grain elevators were built in 1935 and 1936, with the red one being the first. The Wynndel grain elevator was built at about the same time, 1936 or 1937. They were built to accommodate the wheat and grain crops expected from the Creston flats once they were reclaimed (Kootenay River diking/ flood prevention), a project that also took place in 1935. Farmers sold their grain to the elevator, which then distributed it to markets in other parts of the country............from Tammy Hardwick manager of the Creston and District Museum (history link)........
