Saskatoon in Corman Park No. 344, Saskatchewan — The Prairie Region (North America)
Firehall No. 3
Firehall No. 3 was built in 1911, along with an adjacent watertower, to serve an ever expanding city and was officially opened on January 6th, 1912. The first run occurred on February 17th, 1912 to put out a fire caused by boiling tar in a local carpenter's shop. The hall was a part of the community and school children were on friendly terms with the firemen. In 1956 a new Firehall No. 3 was built on Taylor Street resulting in the eventual closure of the original hall in 1958. This municipally-designated heritage building is now in private hands. It was renovated in 1992 and received a city heritage award the following year. Notable features include the intact exterior, original doors and tin ceiling.
Erected 1996 by Broadway Business Improvement District.
