Historical Note: Since it was retired from service as the home for the provincial government in 1912, the Territorial Administration Building has served many functions. It was the home of the Ruthenian Training School (for immigrants from eastern Europe) from 1910 until 1922, when it suffered a devastating fire. It was rebuilt in 1922, and the Salvation Army put the building into use as Grace Haven, a hospital and home for unwed mothers. The Salvation Army closed Grace Haven in 1971. The building languished until 1979, when it was restored by the provincial government and became the North Central Community Centre. Currently the building houses Saskatchewan Express, the entertainment troupe. It was designated a provincial heritage property in 1982.
