Town Office

The heritage value of the Town Office lies in its architecture. The brick building is similar to others constructed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce after World War I. The Canadian Bank of Commerce established itself in Star City with the construction of this building in 1919-1920. The building's brick and pressed-metal detailing, symmetry, modestly-adorned main entrance, and simple design symbolize a sense of permanency, stability and security. Many commercial banks in rural Saskatchewan attempted to evoke secure qualities to satisfy the needs of their growing clientele.

Heritage value also lies in the building's association with its status as a prominent public building in Star City. Originally built as a bank it is located on the town's main street. After the bank closed in 1935, the building's location remained a prominent site for public offices. The building housed the post office from 1935 until 1963 and the Town Office and the Star City Regional Library in the years after 1963.
