Description du lieu patrimonial
The Fire Hall is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Village of Mortlach. The property features a two-storey, wood-frame vernacular structure with a boomtown false front and belfry.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Fire Hall, built circa 1906, is of heritage value as a rare surviving example of a pioneer-era combined fire hall and town hall. The structure was constructed approximately two years after Mortlach was established, also making it one of the earliest buildings in the village. The fire hall combined important civic and government functions in one building, which was typical, especially in smaller communities. In the case of Mortlach, the building contains a second-storey courtroom, which was also used as the village’s council chambers. The first storey of the building contained the village jail, which remains, in addition to the village’s fire-fighting equipment.
