This tower near Stonewall, Manitoba, built around 1900, is one of only a handful of buildings that recall an interesting aspect of the province's agricultural history: fur farming. At the industry's height, in the 1930s and 40s, more than 25,000 pelts, usually of mink and fox, were sent each year to fur markets in Toronto and London, England. The tower was the most visible structure on a fur farm. Farm employees would stand on the upper levels of the tower to supervise the mating of the animals, which sometimes ate their young if they became jittery.
