Prince Edward Building, Municipal heritage post office in Regina, Saskatchewan
The Prince Edward Building is a post office in Beaux-Arts style in Regina, Saskatchewan, featuring a bell tower, dormer windows, and large stone blocks at the corner of Scarth Street. The ground floor contains retail spaces while the upper sections house theater facilities.
Architect David Ewart designed this federal building, completed in 1907, and it first served as Regina's main post office. After 1956 the city repurposed it as city hall until 1976, when it began its next chapter.
The Globe Theatre has occupied the upper floors since 1981, turning this place into a working venue for theatrical performances. Visitors can experience local and touring productions that reflect the city's cultural life.
The building sits at the corner of Scarth Street and is easily reached on foot, with retail access at ground level for visitors. The upper section with theater facilities can be accessed through separate entrances, so plan your arrival depending on what you want to see.
The building's name comes from a royal visit in 2003 when a distinguished guest toured the site, leading to its renaming from its former identity. This connection to a significant moment in the city's history makes it special to those who remember that occasion.
