Former Fire Hall No. 3

With the University of Saskatchewan being built on the east side of the river this enhanced the need for a new fire hall on the east side. Built in 1911 with the latest equipment and both horse drawn and gasoline-powered fire fighting equipment the facility was again modernised in 1926.^[1] In 1958 the fire department left the facility for a new Fire Hall #3 that was constructed on York Avenue and Taylor Street.^[2]

During the Cold War, the building became the headquarters for the Saskatoon office of Canada's civil defence agency, the Emergency Measures Organization in 1959. The basement was converted into a radiation-proof communications bunker, and an emergency food kitchen was constructed, to be used in the event of nuclear war.^[1]

Today the building is privately owned and houses a bar and restaurant.^[2]
