As a facility for the permanent storage of important land ownership records, the building was constructed of fire-proof materials, including reinforced concrete and stone and metal sash windows and door fixtures. The building housed the records for the Regina land titles district until 1977.Erected 2009 by Government of Saskatchewan.
