General note

The Old No. 1 Fire Hall is a uniquely designed fire hall in Saskatchewan. Built in 1921, its architectural style includes several features reminiscent of buildings in Belgium, where local architect Francis Portnal, one of the building's architects, spent some time after World War 1. He and Chapman Clemsha incorporated the foundation of the 1908 Regina Market Building into the hall, and embellished it with various decorative features, including a weathervane in the shape of a fireman putting out a fire. It served as Fire Hall No. 1 until 1984 when two new stations were built - the new No. 1 Fire Hall on 13th Avenue & Albert Street, the other on the corner of Victoria and Arcola Avenues. After close to $1 million in renovations, the Old No. 1 Fire Hall has become home to several business tenants including the Core Community Centre & Daycare.
