Completed in 1891 to the designs of Thomas Fuller, Chief Architect of the federal Department of Public Works, it is typical of many late 19th-century public buildings. The south wing, containing a ballroom and bedrooms, was added in 1928. In 1978-1980 the Saskatchewan government renovated the building and restored the central portion.
