Leader



A few of my last shots of the grain elevator in Leader, Saskatchewan.  It was demolished soon afterwards.


Photographed on February 26, 2018.

  1. There seemed to be a lull in demolishing elevators although I could be wrong on this. This year the three elevators in Milk River, Alberta were torn down.

    1. In that case, I'm glad I have some good photos of the Milk River elevators from a few winters ago.

      Last time I was in the Leader area I kept looking in the direction of town but couldn't find it because the tallest landmark is now gone.

  2. So sad to know this was torn down. I know it's not serving a purpose any longer but it means the history is gone. I wonder if anyone has converted any them into homes...I know I'd like to live in one. The top 'story' would make an amazing art studio!

    1. Can't save them all but there is a beautifully restored grain elevator in Acadia Valley, Alberta which is not too far away from Leader, Saskatchewan.
