Former City Hall

The city's first city hall was a Beaux Arts building built in 1904 at the southeast corner of 76 Fairford Street West and 1 Avenue NW in the area known as City Square and demolished with the Annex in the 1950s. The site is now a parking lot next to Moose Jaw Police HQ and steps from the current City Hall at Fairford Street West and Main Street North.
