Description

The Galloway Building is a large, two storey, vernacular commercial building located on a major road, just north of the downtown core.

Valeur patrimoniale

Built around 1920, the Galloway Building is an excellent example of a simple, vernacular, interwar commercial structure. Boxy in form, the building's second-storey square projecting bays on the east and south elevations provide some visual interest. Although the building has undergone several renovations, its basic form and character are intact.

The Galloway Building is a significant example of an early commercial building located outside the downtown core. Home to many different businesses over the years, the building's location on one of the city's major thoroughfares took early advantage of the city's northward expansion.

The Galloway Building’s large mass and corner location on a major road make it a prominent city landmark.
