Well, the snowy weather here in Michigan is reminding me of a Lumichron Clock Restoration at a Fire Station in Saskatchewan Lumichron.
The Fire Station Clock restoration at the Old Fire Hall #1 is working perfectly . . . no need to climb the tower in the cold and snow. Lumichron provided complete new time-keeping equipment including an automatic master clock controller.for this original, 1921 fire station clock. The 60-inch diameter vintage cast-iron dial was sandblasted and re-finished. New hour and minutes hands were fabricated, and balanced and rated for exposure to the weather . . . the same as all clock hands we make.
Thank you to the City of Regina, Independent Construction Management, and National Signs of Regina.

Old No. 1 Fire Hall
- Location: 1654 11th Avenue (Osler and 11th).
- Built: 1920 – 1921.
- Architectural style: Queen Anne Revival.
According to the city, the fire hall is noteworthy — in part — because of its association with the Regina Riot. In its day, the building was just on the edge of what was then known as Regina’s Market Square, the site of the Regina Riot of July 1, 1935.
“That historic event resulted from the attempted arrest of leaders of the On-to-Ottawa Trek who were protesting conditions in the single men’s relief camps of depression-era British Columbia,” the city noted.
“As a fire hall since 1921, it represents a major civic public work for the period,” officials said.
