This stained glass is more than 500 years old, although the church in Watrous is just over 100 years old. The window was removed from a church in England during Puritan times, then re-installed, and then removed again and presented to the first pastor at All Saints in Watrous, who transported the window in 2000 pieces to Saskatchewan.

Concrete bridges with their graceful arches were built all over Saskatchewan decades ago, but many have been abandoned. This bridge over the Qu'Appelle River once carried traffic on Highway 6, north of Regina.

Not really a building, but a beehive kiln at the Claybank Brick Plant National Historic Site.
