January 23-SaskPower Building

In addition to designing City Hall (see January 2 entry), Joseph Pettick also designed the SaskPower building, seen in the photo above. It is curved in an 's' shape, with the upper part of the s (on the left-hand side of the building) splitting into two to form a Y shape. The columns that grace the front of the building are shaped like dinosaur leg bones. It's a really quirky building - especially when it was built in 1963.
