The Rumely Building is a heritage building located at 244-226 Pacific Avenue in the Central Business District of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Formerly serving as a warehouse for the Rumely Company, the building has been converted into residential condominium lofts with commercial units located on the ground floor.

History

The M. Rumely Company (a manufacture of heavy farm equipment) in April 1912 started work on the construction of a new showroom/office/warehouse building on a railway spur line in the downtown area of Saskatoon. .[1] The 12 by 25 foot elevator and nine inch thick floor permitted heavy equipment to be stored on the upper floors.[1]

In 2007, work started on five store addition on the south side of the building and conversion of the building into 30 condominium lofts. [2]
