Welcome to Clemenceau!
The Federal grain elevator is still standing and I was happy to see that!
I love the way this one has aged...peeling paint and all.
This must have been the elevator operator's house...in minty green no less.
I don't think a CN train has stopped here in a long time.
The main industry of the town was lumber but after a forest fire in the early 1940's that soon came to an end. I grew up in the southeast corner of the province so just the idea of a lumber industry in Saskatchewan was surprising.
The "Federal" and "Clemenceau" names are still legible...barely.
A few shots on my way out of town and towards Hudson Bay...that's Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan by the way.

I like this one - especially the peeling paint. Seeing the house beside it gives a better perspective on the enormity of the elevators.
