The Lyleton grain elevator was a former Manitoba Pool grain elevator with attached annex. Over time, the cupola developed a significant leant. The annex appeared to be from a different elevator, or at least it has received a metal cladding whereas the original elevator has not.

The last elevator in Lyleton was demolished on December 1, 2025.

At one time there was a Paterson grain elevator (built in 1926) next to this one, but it was demolished around 2008.

Lyleton was at the end of the CP Lyleton subdivision, and had rail service from 1903 until the rails were removed in the late 1970s.
