Saskatoon Land Titles Building
This is the oldest provincial government office building in Saskatoon. It was erected in 1909 from designs by Storey and Van Egmond, the prominent Regina architects. By 1911 the structure was doubled in size, reflecting the rapid expansion in urban and rural population in the region. Land owners continued to register title to their property at this office until 1959, when a new combined court house and land titles office was established on Spadina Crescent.

The following additional information is from Wikipedia:
"The Land Titles Building is located at 311 21st Street East in the Central Business District of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The architectural firm of Storey and Van Egmond designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The building was constructed by Smith Brothers and Wilson in 1909. Additional expansions were done between 1910 and 1912. The building housed the land title office until 1959 when the office was transferred to the Law Courts Building. The provincial government stopped using the building when it was sold in 1994. The building now houses the law offices of Brayford and Shapiro.
The building was designated a Provincial Heritage Property in 1985."
