GARFIELD C & D
This is a 28-acre development site owned by the Duluth Seaway Port Authority. Two idle grain elevators were razed to prepare the site for a future bulk cargo facility. Garfield D was constructed in 1900 and was reportedly the first terminal grain elevator constructed entirely from concrete. It was owned from 1900 until 1970 by the F.H. Peavey Co., Minneapolis.

Cargill acquired both elevators in 1970 and operated them as export grain facilities until completing a major new elevator complex in Duluth in the late 1970s.
