Historic Sites of Manitoba: Emerson Town Hall and Court House (104 Church Street, Emerson, Municipality of Emerson-Franklin)Designed by architect John D. Atchison, this building in Emerson was constructed between 1917 and 1918, opening in July 1918. It was the last court house built during the great settlement boom of 1880 to 1920. The two-storey structure is bordered by Church and Winnipeg streets in a mixed residential and commercial area, one block east of the town’s business sector. The site’s provincial designation applies to the structure and the two lots on which it sits. A commemorative sign was erected beside the building by the Historic Sites Advisory Board of Manitoba. In the 2000s, the facility was part of the Manitoba Prairie Icons Program.
