Winnipeg - Transcona

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Not a great image, with this exposure, but it does capture a decent view of the leaning grain bins - dating this photo to late 1913 or early 1914.

POSTCARD Date: Unposted, but written note dated July 18, 1914. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: On October 18, 1913, within a month of first being filled with grain, the brand new CPR grain elevator began to sink on the west side. When finished, it had sunk 24 feet, leaving the structure 27 degrees off centre. Happily, by October 27, 1914 it had been straightened and secured.
