Hilda has a rather odd looking grain elevator unlike any I’ve seen before. It’s got this long and narrow shape, flat at the top and I don’t believe I’ve come across any other Paterson elevators. Hilda is a bit out of the way from Calgary, but not quite as remote as say Esther. Nicely paved roads all the way to the elevator almost. Just a short hop over to Acadia Valley (excellent Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator preserved as a museum complete with tours).
Scenic photos of various historic wooden grain elevators found in Alberta that were a part of daily life in early Western Canada. I had travelled to these locations taking photos and experiencing the small towns that they were a part of. Wooden grain elevators were once common across the prairie provinces, but are now rather scarce as they have largely been replaced by large concrete grain terminals. Grain elevators were the heart of their communities and are slowly disappearing due to age, fire and neglect. Some of the grain elevators shown have already burnt down or were demolished.
