Residents told Kawartha 411 the grain elevator is a heritage building managed by the Manvers Historical Society. Officials say the historical society helped fix up the elevator and they lease it from the city.

A number of large pieces of graffiti was found on the building this morning. Police were called and crews from the City of Kawartha Lakes were also on site to assess the damage and look at ways of removing it.

Police say their investigation indicates that the mischief occurred sometime between 10:00p.m. on the evening of July 29th and 6:00a.m. on July 30th.
