Inscription. The Moose Jaw courthouse, completed in January 1909, is the oldest continuously functioning provincial court building in Saskatchewan. It replaced an earlier wood frame Court House at High Street and 9th Avenue which was built in 1893 and demolished in 1927. Its construction launched a program to replace Frontier-style Dominion government courthouses with impressive buildings more in keeping with boom time growth expectations. Built of concrete and steel and faced with hydraulic presses brick and Bedford stone, the building's stately architecture, construction and optimistic size sturdy have allowed it to be adapted to modern uses.

Erected 1999 by Government of Saskatchewan.
