Wolseley
Town Hall-Opera House
1906
In early twentieth century Saskatchewan, optimism was a chief driving force for many communities. Reflecting the view that growth was inevitable, many towns and cities built elaborate town hall-opera house structures. Wolseley commissioned Manitoba architect JHG Russel to design this, one of the most elegant such buildings in the province. Half of the brick needed was produced locally, the other half manufactured elsewhere, giving the building a two-toned effect. The variety of architectural elements create the structures impressive design. The building was restored by the community between 1990 and 1993.
