The register’s text, word for word

Description

The R.M. of Kingsley #124 Office is a Municipal Heritage Property occupying one town lot, located in the Town of Kipling at 613 Main Street. The property features a wood-frame building constructed in 1919.

Heritage value

The heritage value of the R.M. of Kingsley #124 Office lies in the building’s extended service as a municipal office. Constructed in 1919, the building has been used exclusively for its original purpose, making it one of the oldest continually-used municipal offices in Saskatchewan.

The heritage value of the property also lies in its architecture. The design, provided by the Minnesota-based Waterman & Waterbury Co., projects an American influence in its symmetrical boomtown style with subdued Classical elements. The building’s façade is dominated by a large, Classical wood pediment and pilasters, situated directly above the main entrance. The Classical influenced elements add to the building’s boomtown design, giving it a unique composition.

The heritage value of the property also lies in historical integrity of its interior elements. The building contains many historical elements, such as the interior windows and door frames, and wood mouldings.
