Moose Jaw Court House
This building is the first example of the system of new district
facilities commissioned by the Government of Saskatchewan after the formation of
the province in 1905. Completed in 1909, its atypical of later
Saskatchewan court houses and the only one designed by Daring and Pearson, the
noted Toronto architects who served, very briefly, as the province's first
official architects. The classical dignity imparted to this structure by
is flanking entrance columns and dominant entablature strongly reflects the
styling of numerous of the architects' contemporary commercial designs. ~
