Historic Sites of Manitoba: Dauphin Legion Hall / Dauphin Armoury (309 Main Street North, Dauphin)This two-storey brick building on Main Street North in Dauphin was designed by local municipal engineer Harold Sprenger (1889-?) and constructed in 1921, by volunteer labour using donated materials, for the local branch of the Great War Veterans Association (later the Royal Canadian Legion). The hall served as an armoury from late 1927 until being closed in April 1970. The town library occupied space in the building from 1949 to 1958.
