DescriptionPort Perry grain mill and elevator circa 1930.jpg
English: The Port Perry mill and grain elevator, circa 1930. The building remains a major landmark to this day. A line of the Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway runs across the foreground, although it is not clear in this image if this was the spur that ended at the elevator, or the mainline passing to Lindsay. The elevator was built in 1873 by George Currie and was later sold to Aaron Ross. The building was referred to as the Ross Elevator for years. By the time of this image, it was owned by Hogg & Lytle, with their offices located in the smaller building on the left. Today it used by an auto parts distributer, and the two buildings have been connected, with additional storage built on the right.

View of the Port Perry elevator, owned by Hogg & Lytle, taken from the lakefront park about 1930. Small building to left was the office. This familiar landmark still stands today at Port Perry's waterfront. The grain elevator was built in 1873 by Geo. Currie, and was later sold to Aaron Ross and was known as the Ross Elevator for years. It was the only building to escape destruction during the July 1884 fire which destroyed the entire town.
