Inscription. In 1903 the Province of Saskatchewan was created from the North-West Territories. Three years later the government Premier Walter Scott chose the form of Edward and W.S. Maxwell of Montreal to design a new legislative building for the Province. Constructed by Peter Lyall and Sons, also of Montreal, the project was completed at a cost of three million dollars in 1911. Faced with Tyndall limestone, with an interior containing thirty-four different types of marble, this Beaux -Arts style building is one of the most impressive government buildings in Canada. In 1978 it became the first building in Saskatchewan to be designated as provincial heritage property.

Erected 2001 by Government of Saskatchewan.
