According to the Province of Saskatchewan the Land Titles Building, consists of seven city lots prominently located across from Victoria Park. The property features a two-storey brick and stone office building completed in 1910 and landscaped grounds.
The heritage value of the Land Titles Building, Regina lies in its status as the first public building commissioned by the new provincial government.
The heritage value of the building also resides in its architecture. Designed by the prominent Toronto architectural firm of Darling and Pearson during their brief tenure as the provincial architects, the Land Titles Building, through the use of the Classical Revival architectural style, conveyed the images of stability and self-assurance desired by the new province. The liberal use of Kootenay marble from British Columbia on the exterior and a 4.88 metre high ceiling on the main floor also give the building an imposing and prestigious look.
