Long Description:
"Construction of the Public Library was started in 1912 by
Lyall and Sons and completed the following year. This was
Moose Jaw's answer to the refusal of the Carnegie Endowment to
assist the city in establishing a library in the then town.
Moose Jaw built the most impressive library yet seen in the
province. The interior has the most marble of any building of
its type, second only to the Provincial Legislative Building.
The architects, Reid and McAlpine, incorporated traditional
designs with state of the art features of the era. These
included stylish electric lighting and glass floors that
allowed light to flood all areas of the building. In 1993, the
Library underwent a major extension and became the Moose Jaw
Public Library/Art Museum complex." ~ Saskatchewan Heritage
