The House on the Hill


I was roaming the back roads of Manitoba back in 2014, looking for the Hathaway grain elevator, when I spotted this old house in the distance. It was quite far away and across a pond, so I didn't get any closer than this.

The elevator was demolished sometime in 2017. I wonder if the house is still there.

  2. The Hathaway grain elevator was named for my family. I read your blurb about it at the link. There never was a town (ghost or otherwise) called Hathaway. The elevator was just located at a railway siding and there were a whole bunch of Hathaways farming in the immediate area, so that's how it got named.
