Description du lieu patrimonial
Wadena Glass and Mye Signs is a Municipal Heritage Property situated on two municipal lots in the Town of Wadena. The designation applies to a two-storey, brick building located at 93 Main Street North, Wadena’s main thoroughfare.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Wadena Glass and Mye Signs building lies in its association with the Sterling Bank of Canada. Built in 1921, the building has held both commercial and government tenants. One of those tenants was the Sterling Bank of Canada, who occupied the building until 1928 when the branch closed after merging with the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
The heritage value of the property also lies in the building’s architecture. Built in the Modern Classical Revival style, the building exudes a sense of security and stability that many chartered banks strived for as they established themselves across the prairies in the early-twentieth century. The symmetry of the façade, adorned portico, red brick exterior, pilasters and decorative brick work highlighted with Tyndall Stone all portray a simply designed, yet prominent building.
