Description du lieu patrimonial
Kellross Heritage Museum is a Municipal Heritage Property located within the Village of Leross on the corner of Main Street and 2nd Ave. The property features a one-storey, quonset-style building with a semi-circular, peaked, aluminum roof, constructed in 1962-1963 and a non-contributing addition constructed in 1969.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Kellross Heritage Museum lies in its former use as a sports facility. Constructed during 1962-1963, the property was designed to be the community’s curling rink. The building once contained two sheets of ice and provided an important recreational venue for local residents during the winter months. The curling rink was closed in the early 1980s and the building was transferred to the Kellross Heritage Museum in 2000. The museum renovated the interior to create display space for its collection of historical artifacts from the early history of the community.
The heritage value of the property also lies in the property’s vernacular architecture. Quonset construction was an efficient and inexpensive building type which was used across the prairies in the years after World War II to serve a wide variety of functions. Like many other curling rinks constructed across Saskatchewan during the period, the utilitarian design allowed for a long building with limited width to be constructed while providing enough space for sheets of curling ice.
