Excerpt taken from Harvest of Memories – Sturgis and District – A Century of Memories (1900-2000)

“The Station House is one of the oldest original buildings and landmarks in the community. Constructed as a railway station in 1918, the building served as one of the town’s main points of entry for over 70 years. After decommissioning in 1986, the station was moved to its current location and has since been utilized as the town’s museum.


"The heritage value of the property also lies in its representation of early-20th century railway architecture. The station was designed by the Canadian Northern Railway’s chief architect R.B. Pratt and followed standardized design 100-72, used for Third Class stations across Western Canada. 


"The station features a two-story design that originally accommodated passenger and freight traffic on the main floor and the station agent’s quarters on the second. In keeping with the style, the station has a hip roof, and dormers that protrude from a second story that projects above a gable roof over the main floor. 


"The gable roof, supported by wood brackets, extends beyond the exterior walls to provide and overhanging shelter for the passenger platform. The building features a rectangular form giving the building a long horizontal axis designed to provide the building maximum exposure to the railway line.”
