Description du lieu patrimonial
Golden Age Club Buildings is a Municipal Heritage Property located on two town lots at 126 4th Street within the Town of Star City. The property features two, one-storey brick-clad commercial buildings with brick facades constructed in 1923 and 1928.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Golden Age Club Buildings lies in the property’s association with the delivery of medical services to the community. The north (left) building was constructed in 1923 and served as an office for many of the town’s doctors and dentists. The south (right) building was built in 1928 and used as the local pharmacy. Although the property changed owners several times, it remained the town’s drug store until the early 1970s. After closure of the last pharmacy, the two buildings were connected and converted into a local seniors’ centre in 1974.
The heritage value of the property also lies in its architecture. Representative of 1920s commercial structures in Saskatchewan, both buildings have rectangular form and limited architectural detailing. The subdued ornamentation includes recessed brick panels on the upper façade with crenellated parapet. Also in keeping with the style, the buildings displays a symmetrical appearance and features brick quoins.
