Saskatchewan - Moose Jaw/Highway 2 - S

Moose Jaw south and west of City Hall



Heading west from City Hall, the north side of Fairford Street W. brings you #20 and a mural on the Times-Herald building.


Find even more Moose Jaw murals at 1st Avenue, on the southeast and northwest corners respectively.


Still on the north side of Fairford Street W., the first photo is the now-defunct 1909 Central Fire Station and the others are the old Odd Fellows Hall, which I believe opened in 1928 and is now condos.


Moose Jaw has many commercial buildings, but the Commercial Building can be found at #127 High Street. It was built in 1913 as the last pre-war effort of Richard Bogue.


Drink in all these views of the 1906 Jubilee Block on the southeast corner of High Street and 1st Avenue NW, because a tragic 2014 fire destroyed it all. That's one classy mural that will be missed.


One building on the south side and one on the north side of High Street east of there. The north side was the 1914 Royal Bank of Canada, also known as McIntyre Hall. Interestingly, RBC is still right there, just a door over to the left.


A hidden mural and drugstore sign reward one who looks north at the rear of the Pharmasave building.


The 1911 Walter Scott Building is on the northeast corner of Main and High Streets. The Capitol Theatre, remodeled from the original 1916 Allen Theatre in 1929 to show talkies, is just to its north.


Looking north at the Metropolitan Stores building (#120 Main Street), that doesn't look like the word "Metropolitan." That looks like "Metroponavy." The newer Metro ad is fading and the older "Army & Navy Dept. Store" ad is coming through.


The northeast and southeast corners of Main and River Streets.


There's very little I can figure out about #88 2nd Avenue, but the River Street side of it is fascinating. Even the phone number is stamped in concrete. Ever seen that before?


Another great building (pre-1910, except the top floor) on River Street west of 3rd Avenue, where I turned and so missed out on some of the architectural details.


Heading east along Manitoba Street to #32.


The 1922 Canadian Pacific station is on the south side of Manitoba and Main Streets, the junction of Highways 363 and 2. The clock tower is built of Canadian Tyndall stone.


The last photos cheat east of Main Street to the 1911 Royal George Hotel.
