The History of Grain Elevators Preserved in a Unique Home
Grain elevators are are slowly disappearing. They are becoming a passing symbol of the prairies. One man is showing his love for these old structures and preserving their history in his home!
Doug Ward is a woodworker from Southern Alberta. He has combined his woodworking skill with his passion for history and preserving these old beauties. The result is a truly one of a kind home.
“Doug Ward has now rescued 26 elevators’ worth of timber from the scrap heap, turning it into everything from benches and tables to his personal 5,000-square-foot home.” Roughly half of the home uses wood from the grain elevator from Vulcan, Alta. The rest come from other grain elevators from across the province.
