Warner elevator row is a group of historic wood-cribbed grain elevators with three elevators standing in a row from south to north, alongside the Canadian Pacific Railway, that travels from Great Falls, Montana to Lethbridge, Alberta, on the east entrance of the village of Warner, Alberta, Canada. 〔("Demolition at Warner’s famed elevator row." ). ''Alberta Farmer'', Johnnie Bachusky.〕 At one time the row had seven elevators. ==History and significance== Many of the once-common wood-crib grain elevators throughout Canada have been torn down. Warner now only has Three elevators, the other Inglis elevator row (Inglis, Manitoba), with a total of five elevators. Warner's elevators have not been protected. 〔("Progress is leaving Alberta's historic grain elevators in its wake" ). ''National Post'', Jen Gerson | April 7, 2013.〕 In 2014, two of the elevators were demolished.〔 Prior to 1911 Warner had two elevators, one was a house built by Alberta Pacific Elevator Co., and the other was a elevator built by Jones and Dill. In 1913 the first elevator remaining group was constructed by the Alberta Farmers' Co-operative Elevator Co..〔("LONGEST - Remaining Row of Grain Elevators in Alberta" ). ''Waymarking''.〕 The structural and history of each elevator was influenced by developments in the grain industry and individual companies from before WWII to the 1980s. The elevators built at Warner date from 1913 to 1960. The row included an early example of the Alberta Farmers' Co-operative Elevator company design, and an example of several different complex component arrangements; elevator and twin, elevator and annexes of several types, original type offices and replacement offices. The row has a total of two complexes, with a total of three elevators. The elevator built by Ellison Milling and Elevator Co. in 1939 is an architecturally significant example of a 1940s complex that has undergone almost no change, comprising an elevator, two balloon annexes, and a track side office/warehouse, usually associated with an earlier period. There are only a small number of elevators from the later 1930s left standing in the province; a reminder that few were built for some time after 1934. This elevator was demolished in the early 2000s. The elevator row at Warner is included in the book "Grain elevators of eastern Saskatchewan" by Jim Pearson.〔("Photos: Grain elevators of eastern Saskatchewan" ). ''Leader-Post''.
