This distinctive corner building has had three owners, but it still retains much of its original look. It was opened on December 4, 1928 as the T. Eaton company's "most western" location, on the site of the 1903-1911 city hall. The building had mahogany counters, marble paneled stairwells, and Saskatoon's first escalator, made of wood, which is still in place. After Eatons relocated to Midtown Plaza in 1970, the building was home to the Army & Navy department store for over 30 years. Most recently it has found new life as the home of the Saskatoon Public School Board.
Saskatoon's early municipal hall, bandstand, fire hall and tower first occupied the property.
