212 Main St. N. (south wall)

Ken Brown, a Moose Jaw native, flew with the famous Dambuster Squadron during World War II and was awarded the CGM. The operation, bombing dams in Germany, was one of great difficulty, demanding very low flying and a high degree of skill and courage and close cooperation with the crews of the aircraft engaged. Flying Officer Robert Alexander Urquhart DFC, another Moose Jaw native, was also part of the Dambuster mission, but his Plane was damaged in the bomb drop, and then gunned down on the return to base, killing all on board.

Another favourite “River Street Red” was destroyed by fire. “The Incorporation of the City of Moose Jaw” was lost to demolition while the “Moose Jaw Union Hospital Mural” and “Our Ukrainian Heritage” were lost to remodelling. “Summer Games” was lost to deterioration. Since 2007 our Murals have been painted on panels, so hopefully no more will be lost. The Mad Greek Mural 925 Main St. N. (north wall)

Over the past four years, Boh’s Cycle has added three stunning murals to its exterior, all painted by Carly Smith. The first, completed in 2021, features a cyclist riding through a forest and adorns the front of the store. In 2022, the north side gained a mural blending Boh’s branding with a prairie landscape.

Timeless Treasures –Heritage Buildings of Moose Jaw

Moose Jaw Public Library

– 461 Langdon Crescent

John’s

Downtown Moose Jaw is full of historic buildings, and while we’d love to tell you about them all, we don’t have enough space in this guide!

We have highlighted a few prominent ones; for more, check out Bruce Fairman’s books in our gift shop, hop on a Historic Daytime Trolley Tour, or visit the City of Moose Jaw website.

City Hall – 228 Main St. N.

Moose Jaw City Hall is a Municipal Heritage Property located on four lots at the southwest corner of Main Street North and Fairford Street West in downtown Moose Jaw.

The 3½-storey Tyndall stone and brick-clad building was constructed between 1911 and 1914. Constructed for the Dominion Government it served as a post office and housed other government agencies such as customs, and eventually, the Royal

The Moose Jaw Public Library is a Municipal Heritage Property located downtown in the City of Moose Jaw’s Crescent Park. The property features a two-storey brick and limestone clad building completed in 1913. Built during 1912-13, at the height of the pre-World War I boom that saw population and construction activity rapidly increase in Moose Jaw, the library was a significant addition to the community. Skeptical of Moose Jaw’s population claims, the Carnegie Foundation, which funded libraries in other communities, rejected Moose Jaw’s 1911 request for $50,000 to construct a library. Local leaders disregarded this setback and showed great confidence in their city by investing $100,000 of their own finances to build and furnish a library that was designed to handle the needs of a community with a population five-times larger than Moose Jaw had at the time. The only building with more marble in all of Saskatchewan is the Legislative Assembly in Regina.

Canadian Mounted Police. In 1963, the City of Moose Jaw purchased the building to accommodate city council chambers, municipal departments and the local police service. It was built during the height of a pre-World War I boom period in the community, the building’s large scale and substantial $281,000 cost was a symbol of the optimism which both the Dominion Government and local residents placed in Moose Jaw’s future.

Explore Moose Jaw’s heritage buildings— where history and ambition come together to shape Canada’s most notorious city.

Moose Jaw Centre for Arts & Culture

– 217 Main St. N. (former Capitol 3 Theatre)

The former Capitol 3 Theatre is a Municipally designated Heritage Property located near the intersection of Main Street and Fairford Street in downtown Moose Jaw. The concrete two-storey brick-clad building was built in 1916. Architect James C. Teague designed the building and provided it with decoration that was intended to attract and impress patrons and made it a prominent part of the streetscape. Included among these are reliefs depicting cherubs, masks and crests of the Allen Theatre chain which appear on the ornate plaster ceilings and walls of the theatre chamber. Other interior decoration includes a foyer with a vaulted plaster ceiling decorated using reliefs and polychromy. Exterior decoration such as the Allen Theatre crest, cornice, pilasters, a replica steel canopy, vertical signage and light fixtures add to the prominence of the building and told patrons of the quality of entertainment offered within.

CPR Station – 5 Manitoba

(pictured far right)

The Old CPR Station is a heritage-designated railway station built between 1920-1922. Chosen as a divisional point by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) due to its central location and water availability, the station played a vital role in Moose Jaw’s development as a key railway

hub. Designed by Hugh G. Jones in the Beaux-Arts style, the station features a sixstorey clock tower, a two-storey waiting hall, and single-storey wings, all clad in Tyndall stone and red brick. Its grand architecture includes tripartite windows, pendant lighting, intricate terra cotta detailing, and a rusticated stone base, reflecting its prominence in the cityscape. Interior elements such as decorative medallions, reliefs, and mouldings enhance its elegance, while railway-specific features like a ticket office, waiting benches, and “To Trains” signage highlight its original function. A bronze plaque honoring CPR employees’ war efforts and exterior reliefs of a ship, locomotive, and CPR crest emphasize the station’s historical importance. Located at the terminus of Main Street North, next to the railway tracks and a complementary four-storey building, the Old CPR Station remains a symbol of Moose Jaw’s railway heritage and economic significance.

St. Aidan’s Anglican Church

– 65 High St. E.

St Aidan’s Church is a Municipal Heritage Property built in 1909-1910 in the Gothic Revival style. Serving as the third Anglican

church on this site since 1888, it has been a central place of worship for the community. Beyond its religious role, the church played an important civic function, with its bells once used as the city’s fire alarm and emergency signal. Inside, it houses a memorial to the 46th Canadian Battalion, including two white oak Vimy Crosses commemorating soldiers who fought in the 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge. Designed by architect F. Clapman Clemesha, the church features classic Gothic Revival elements such as lancet windows, buttresses, stone copings, and a vaulted nave, along with a seventy-foot crenellated tower containing nine bells and nine lancet windows, with one bell weighing 1900 pounds. The interior is equally striking, with stained glass windows, an oak barrel-vaulted ceiling, and intricately carved woodwork. With its architectural beauty, historical significance, and deep ties to the community, St. Aidan’s Church remains one of Moose Jaw’s most

impressive heritage sites.

Thunderbird Viaduct

– 4th Avenue N.W. (a.k.a. the 4th Avenue Bridge)

The Thunderbird Viaduct was built in 1929 by Winnipeg firm Carter, Halls and Aldinger and designed by bridge engineer Claude A. P. Turner, is valued for both its architectural significance and its connection to Indigenous heritage. Turner, known for designing bridges over the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers, incorporated ornamental elements such as multi-colored terra cotta light standards, balusters, and cameos into the viaduct’s design. The bridge features three repeated cameos—one depicting a moose, symbolizing the community, and two others showing Indigenous figures, “Mike Oka” and “Bear Ghost,” whose origins remain uncertain. The viaduct is further distinguished by its fluted concrete columns, decorated with Egyptian-style painted motifs. During renovations in the early 1990s, original decorative features were restored, and local potter Wendy Parsons created replica cameo tiles for the bridge’s updated span. The viaduct also holds cultural significance, as it was

of Thunder Creek. In 1952, City Council renamed it “Thunderbird Viaduct,” inspired by both the Thunderbird’s importance in Indigenous cultures and its connection to Thunder Creek, further cementing its role as a historically and architecturally significant landmark in Moose Jaw.

St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church – 80 High St. E.

St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church has a unique history, having served three different religious communities and

even an automotive garage. Originally constructed by the Methodist congregation, it was later sold to the Roman Catholics `(1907-1913) before becoming a repair facility for the Central Motor Company in 1917, where automobiles were even assembled. In 1927, after renovations by architect Henry Hargreaves, local Presbyterians who opted out of the United Church union reclaimed the building as a place of worship, renaming it Knox Presbyterian Church— later St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church after a 1967 merger. Designed by Percy Beesley, a former CPR employee from Montreal,

The Thunderbird Viaduct, an engineering marvel, connects Moose Jaw’s past and present, offering stunning views and a vital transportation link.

the church originally featured red brick from Wellington White in Moose Jaw, now covered with stucco. It retains Gothic architectural elements such as buttresses, a steeply pitched gable roof, a lancet window, and an asymmetrically placed tower with an octagonal spire. It is the second oldest church in Moose Jaw.

Old Chinese United Church – 303 High St. W.

The Chinese United Church is the oldest recorded building in Moose Jaw, constructed in 1883 during the city’s early growth following the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Originally built by local Presbyterians, the Gothic vernacular-style church—with its lancet windows, steeply pitched gable roof,

tower, and spire—was moved multiple times before settling at its current location in 1903 under the Free Methodists. In 1912, the building became central to the Chinese community, serving as a mission established with support from local citizens and churches. When it was a church it provided both spiritual and social functions, symbolizing the achievements, struggles, and contributions of the Chinese community in Moose Jaw.

Moose Jaw Fire Station

– 136-138 Fairford St. W.

The Moose Jaw Fire Hall, built in 1909, is a Municipal Heritage Property that served as one of the city’s first fire stations until 1979. Designed by architect W.A. Elliot, it cost $35,000 to construct and housed both equipment and full-time firefighters. The building showcases Georgian Revival architecture, featuring symmetrical vehicle bays, dormer windows, and a distinctive tower with quoining and a flagpole. Beyond its functional role, the Fire Hall stands as a

testament to Moose Jaw’s civic pride and commitment to public safety.

The Jitney Dance Hall, built in 1916, is a historic open-air venue in Moose Jaw’s Connor Park. Originally part of a railway amusement park, it was a popular spot for dances and community gatherings in the 1920s and 1930s. After falling into disuse by the 1980s, it was restored in 1988 and remains the last surviving structure from the original park. Its rustic, open-air design, wooden support columns, and exposed rafters create a relaxed atmosphere, making it a unique and cherished landmark for local events.
