Former St. Vital Municipal Offices

The former Municipal Office and Hall was erected not far from the site of the 1911 St. Vital Municipal (also on St. Mary’s Road) and the 1914 St. Vital Fire Station at 596 St. Mary’s Road. Designed by the firm of Pratt and Lindgren , 604 St. Mary’s Road is an example of International Style architecture. Like much of the firm’s work it makes use of brick. One storey high and C-shaped, the building has two wings jutting out toward the street: one taller and clad in Tyndall Stone (home to the council chamber and decorated with a civic crest),  the other tower in brick (housing the administrative offices). These wings enclose a small courtyard entry space; the courtyard-facing walls are glazed on two sides. A modern flat canopy shelters the main doorway.
