PRINCE ALBERT TOWN HALL

The council of the burgeoning town of Prince Albert commissioned the architectural firm of F.J. Rostrick and Son of Hamilton in 1892 to design a town hall and opera house. Built by A. and W.B. Goodfellow of locally produced brick the new facility was a combination of elegance and solidity. It is the oldest building of its type in what is now Saskatchewan. The porte-sochere entrance-way and wroght-iron balcony are unique for town halls of that era. City offices, a performance area, a magistrate's court, and a jail were facility by this building for many years. It was converted into an arts and senior citizen's centre in 1969. The building was designated a Provincial Heritage Property under The Heritage Property Act 1990 in 1991. Image:GoogleMaps
