Radville station is a former railway station in Radville, Saskatchewan. It was built by the Canadian Northern Railway as part of the Brandon to Lethbridge line, which was completed only as far west as Willow Bunch. The two-storey, wood-frame railway station is at a major division point on the railway line and is the only remaining 2nd-Class CNR railway station building still standing in the province.[1] The building was designed by architect Ralph Benjamin Pratt. As a major division point from 1911 until the 1950s the site also housed a railway roundhouse.[2] The building was designated a municipal heritage property in 1984. The building is now used as a museum and community event building.[3]
