The elevator was constructed in 1905 by the Western Canada Flour Mills on the Muir-Helston Branch of the Canadian Northern Railway. In May 1940, the building was sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators and, in August 1940, re-sold to farmers belonging to the Helson Co-operative Elevator Association No. 160. The elevator closed in December 1978 when the adjacent rail line was abandoned.
