1. Assiniboia Court House Marker

Inscription. In 1925 Provincial Architect Maurice Sharon developed a standard plan for judicial buildings in smaller urban centres. Half the size of his previous court houses, these structures were erected at Gravelbourg (1926), Shaunavon and Wynyard (1927), Melfort (1928) and Assiniboia (1930). The Assiniboia Court House, with its symmetry of design, brick detailing and handsome main entrance, is an excellent example of Sharon's modified Colonial Revival. Its unique placement, at the head of Centre Street, greatly adds to the aesthetic value of the building.

Erected 1988 by Government of Saskatchewan.
