Stormy Sunset at Collingwood - 20211017-01

            For many, one of Collingwood’s most iconic structures is the majestic “Collingwood Terminals Limited” building standing proudly on the shore of Georgian Bay.  

The present structure, completed in 1930, is actually the third in a series of buildings devoted to the receiving, storage and dispatching of grain arriving by rail and steamers.  The first structure pre-dates 1870 and little is known of it other than it was destroyed by fire.  It was replaced by a beautiful mansard roofed wooden structure constructed in 1870-1871, with a minimum capacity of 160,000 bushels.  

But as grain shipments arriving via rail continued to increase, it soon became abundantly clear that this structure was inadequate to meet the requirements of a growing economy and so construction of a larger facility started in 1929.  Completed in 1930, the newly established Collingwood Terminals Limited boasted one of the tallest structures north of Toronto, and an astounding storage capacity of 2 million bushels.  The terminals were used for grain service for 64 years, ending in 1993. Collingwood was involved in the grain trade for 123 years.
