Government House (Battleford)
Government House in Battleford, Saskatchewan served as the seat for the government of the Northwest Territories between 1878 and 1883.
Originally a two-storey Carpenter Gothic wood structure designed by architect Thomas S. Scott, it was altered with Mansard roof that gave the building a third floor and expanded into a 3 floor complex.
The building was constructed in 1877 but used for a short time for government administration centre. From 1883 to 1984 several institutions call the building their home:
- Battleford Industrial School 1883 to 1914
- Seventh Day Adventist Academy from 1914 to 1931
- Oblates of St. Mary's House of Studies from 1932 to 1972; St. Mary's owned the building until 1984.
The structure was destroyed by fire in 2003. Today only parts of the buildings foundation and the chimney remains.
