Banff, AB, Canada

FIRE HALL. Many of Banff's landmark buildings were constructed during the Great Depression. At this time, the federal government began an extensive public works program in the national parks. This building was originally constructed in 1935 as the Central garage, a facility required by the National

Parks Engineering Service for the repair of equipment used in road maintenance and construction projects. In 1963, the building was converted to a fire hall, replacing an existing one on Banff Avenue.
