Grain elevators and aerial galleries of Silo 5 at the Old Port of Montreal. A massive machine for the movement of grain, Silo No. 5, with its 206 silos in three different structures, measures almost a half a kilometre long and reaches up to a height of 66.4 metres. Silo No. 5, was first constructed between 1903 and 1906 as part of the infrastructure program that transformed the Port of Montreal, catapulting it into its position as the world's leading exporter of grain.

By 1994, with revenues no longer covering expenses, Silo was emptied and operations ceased entirely at the end of the year.
