Top photos chosen by u all:
Sturdy Stone Centre
Made by daryl_mitchell
The 13-floor Sturdy Stone Centre was built in 1977. The blockish form of the building and the exposed concrete-like exterior make it a good example of the Brutalist style of architecture. The building is actually clad in smooth-sawn Tyndall stone (Red River dolomitic limestone). Floors 3 to 7 are a parkade, while the rest of the space is for offices.
Bessborough Hotel
Made by daryl_mitchell
This was the last of the grand railway hotels built in Canada. It opened in 1935 and was operated by Canadian Pacific. It is currently owned by the Delta chain, and remains Saskatoon's finest hotel. It is Saskatoon's most recognizable building and is featured prominently in tourist and promotional imagery.
Thorvaldson Building in Winter
Made by daryl_mitchell
The Thorvaldson (Chemistry) Building on the University of Saskatchewan campus houses the chemistry, pharmacy and computer science departments. Built in 1924, it is one of Saskatoon's finest examples of Collegiate Gothic style architecture.
St. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church
Made by daryl_mitchell
This is one of the most unusual looking churches I have ever seen; it looks like a modified quonset hut or a giant caterpillar. It sits across the street from Raoul Wallenberg park and the Agudath Israel Synagogue.
Buena Vista School Library
Made by daryl_mitchell
The school did not have a proper library until 1965, 51 years after it opened. The library straddles either side of the second floor hallway in the middle of the building. It feels quite spacious and open.
