This former Fire Hall on Fairford Street in Moose Jaw's city centre, was built in 1909 at a cost of $35,000.  It was the first fire hall in the city and housing several appliances as well as acting as a residence for full-time firemen.  The image below shows the building circa 1920 with my wife's grandfather at the steering wheel of the fire truck.

It closed as a fire hall in 1978.  The image below shows it in the early 1970s when it was still a part of the city's fire department.

The  HistoricPlaces.ca website describes the building as having been, "... Constructed in the Georgian Revival style, a style used in other public buildings in the community during the period, the building is characterized by the symmetrical arrangement of the vehicle door bays and window openings, and the hip roof with symmetrically-placed dormers. The tall tower, decorated with projecting quoining and topped by a pyramidal roof and flagpole, reflects the original use of the building as well as the desire of the community to construct a building which was both functional and a showpiece of civic pride."

Today the building is known as William Milne Pace and is a mixed-use property with retail units in the former garages.  Above are 15 bachelor suites owned by the Moose Jaw Housing Association.  The building is named in honour of William Johnstone Milne a young man who emigrated from Scotland to Canada in 1910 at the age of 18.  He worked on a farm outside Moose Jaw.  Milne died in 1917 at Vimy Ridge after neutralizing two machine guns single-handedly before being killed.  For his heroism he was awarded the Victoria Cross.  His body was never found but his name is to be found on the Vimy Memorial.
