Government House served as the residence of the Lieutenant Governors of the North-West Territories from 1891 to 1905 and of Saskatchewan from 1905 to 1945, and for many years was the hub of official social life in Regina. Completed in 1891 to the designs of Thomas Fuller, Chief Architect of the federal Department of Public Works, it is one of the few surviving territorial buildings and is typical of many late 19th-century public buildings. A south wing containing a ballroom and bedrooms was added in 1928. Between 1978 and 1980, the Saskatchewan government renovated the building and restored the central portion.
