History

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. The elevator and thick floor permitted heavy equipment to be stored on the upper floors. In 2007, work started on five store additions on the south side of the building and conversion of the building into 30 condominium lofts.
