Alex Herman, Editor in Chief writes in the Preface, " ... This landmark publication is the first of its kind undertaken by a provincial architectural association to document the development of a province's culture through the architecture of its settlement period.
As you will see in the book, some Saskatchewan settlers reacted to their environment by constructing buildings that were unfettered by attachments to their countries of origin. Others created replicas of buildings found in their homeland. Collectively, these pioneer buildings provide a valid physical representation of Saskatchewan's cultural identity.
We have not produced a definitive catalogue of early construction in Saskatchewan. No is this book meant to serve as an authoritative guide to the sociology, economics and early politization of the new province as revealed in the architecture of its buildings. We do however, believe that in these pages a comprehensive collection of photography and text has been assembled that will tell you much about Saskatchewan, its pioneer buildings and its history.
