CENTENNIAL 1893-1993 - JULY 29 CELEBRATION DAY
The former Prince Albert City Hall and today the Arts Centre - 1010 Central Ave. - is celebrating 100 years. This building is one of the few 19th century town halls still standing on the Prairies. It was built in 1892-1893 by A. and W.B. Goodfellow Builders (the architect is unknown) two years after the first railway arrived in town and over ten years before Prince Albert was incorporated as a city. Like many town halls of the period, it housed a variety of facilities including an opera house (for public lectures, political debates, magic lantern shows, dramatic productions and a stage for occasional guest artists) and large meeting room in addition to the municipal offices. It's substantial size, brick-clad exterior and clock tower reflected the town's pride in its status as an important territorial centre and its faith in a prosperous future. Council meetings were held there until 1969. Stylistically, the building is of Victorian design, with Italian accents. JULY 26th to August 1st Prince Albert Heritage Week.
