The Rumely Building is a heritage building located at 244–226 Pacific Avenue in the Central Business District of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Formerly serving as a warehouse for the Rumely Company, the building has been converted into residential condominium lofts with commercial units located on the ground floor.

History

[edit]

The M. Rumely Company (a manufacturer of heavy farm equipment) in April 1912 started work on the construction of a new showroom/office/warehouse building on a railway spur line in the downtown area of Saskatoon.[1] The 12-by-25-foot (3.7 by 7.6 m) elevator and 9-inch (230 mm) thick floor permitted heavy equipment to be stored on the upper floors.[1]

In 2007, work started on five store additions on the south side of the building and conversion of the building into 30 condominium lofts.[2]
