The Pool Elevator transfer facility offered a total holding capacity of 2.1 million US bushels (74,000 m3) in 135 bins.

[1] The elevator was built in stages, as evidenced by the different extensions to the bins that make up the current structure.

Virtually all receipts and shipments were in bulk, and the elevator handled a wide variety of wheat, oats, barley, and other grains.

The original marine leg boat unloading towers and railroad tracks have been removed as the building is no longer used for grain storage.

The south end marina operated on the property from the mid-1980s until 2011 when it closed after a fire that burned down the boat mechanic shop.

The long finger pier that forms the dock that the elevator sits on is used as a base of operations for local dredging projects and marine equipment is often tied up there.
