The Port McNicoll Grain Elevator was built in the early 1900's by the Canadian Pacific Railway and primarily used to store grain. Physically, it's about 300m long, about 100 metres wide, and maybe 30 metres high. A very massive concrete building. It houses hundreds of silos, each about 8 metres across. The elevator is located just outside Port McNicoll, near Talbot street and Armstrong street.
The original 2,000,000 bushel grain elevator at Victoria Harbour (name changed to Port McNicoll in 1912) was constructed in 1910 of steel reinforced concrete, by John S. Metcalfe of Chicago. It consisted of 32 cylindrical bins 32 ft 11 ins in diameter, with 31 interspace bins. In 1913 the elevator was doubled in size by building an identical structure next to the first. At one time, there were several flour sheds at the foot of the elevator.
After it was closed they decided on storing old tires in some of the silo's. They were later taken out for some odd reason. A freight boat hasn't docked there since 1994.
