Battleford Land Registry Office
Provincial Heritage Property
Constructed of local brick in 1877-78 this was the first land registry office in the North-West Territories and the oldest known brick building in Saskatchewan. Containing records of all private and public land in the territories, this office registered ownership and sale of lands for two-thirds of the area of Canada. The structure served this purpose for over thirty years, until a new office was built closer to the business centre of Battleford in 1908. This building changed to private ownership and then was acquired by the Town of Battleford in 1997.
