Description: 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.
