NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE PROVINCIAL HISTORIC RESOURCE
(Historical Resources Act)
File: Des 1996
Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this
Notice and its publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Community
Development intends to make an Order that the structure knows as:
the and Flour Mill, comprised of the grain elevator, drive shed,
office/powerhouse, storage building and foundations of the 1929 Flour Mill,
together with the land legally described as:
all that portion of the unsubdivided part of the northwest quarter of
section 32, township 58, range 20, west of the fourth meridian, described
as follows: commencing at the intersection of the north east limit of first
street and the north west limit of Railway Avenue as shown on plan 3467CE,
thence north westerly along the north east boundary of said first street
east (135) feet to a point, thence north easterly at right angles to the
north east boundary of first street east (323) feet to a point, thence
south easterly parallel to the north east boundary of first street east to
the north west boundary of Railway Avenue, thence south westerly along the
north west boundary of Railway Avenue to the point of commencement
containing 0.405 hectares (1 acre) more or less, excepting thereout all
mines and minerals and municipally located at First Street East and Railway
Avenue, Radway, Alberta
be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under
section 16 of the
Historical Resources Act, R.S.A. 1980 c.H-8 as amended.
The reasons for the designation are as follows:
The Krause Milling Company Grain Elevator in Radway is a Prairie Vernacular
Industrial style of railroad structure designed for grading, weighing,
storing and shipping grain to domestic or international markets. The style
grew out of the abundance of wood as a building material, early methods of
storing grain, and the invention of the vertical conveyor belt which
permitted grian to be elevated so that gravity could be used to distribute
it through the elevator.
This is an excellent example of 1928 grain elevator constructed on the
railroad branch lines in Alberta. Only the foundations of the 1929 Flour
Mill, that was demolished in 1959, remain on the site.
It is therefore considered that the preservation and protection of the
resource is in the public interest.
Dated October 23, 2001.
Mark Rasmussen, Acting Assistant Deputy Minister.
