Sait Bookstore
In 1916 Canada's first public technical school opened its doors in temporary quarters in a former police and fire station adjacent to the Colonel James Walker School in southeast Calgary. Named the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art, it was established to train returning World War I veterans. The Institute offered classes in these makeshift facilities until moving to its current location in 1922. A three-storey red brick and sandstone building built in the Collegiate Gothic style opened that year and was shared by the technical institute and a Normal School for the training of teachers. Now known as Heritage Hall, the original building was magnificently restored in 2001 and commands one of the best views in Calgary of the city's downtown on the banks of the Bow River and the Rocky Mountains to the west.
