Legacy of Stone: Saskatchewan's Stone Buildings
A spectacular coffee-table book featuring the images and stories
of some of Saskatchewan’s most impressive stone buildings, along
with historical notes on some of the builders who made them.
In words and stunning colour pictures, this book tells the history
and the current reality of over 50 fieldstone buildings in
Saskatchewan. The book includes an introduction by Bernie
Flaman, the provincial heritage architect, an historical overview, and
profiles of several of Saskatchewan’s most prominent stone masons.
The balance of the book is made up of profiles of the buildings –
farmhouses, homes in urban communities, places of worship, public
buildings and ruins. Margaret Hryniuk, uses her years of journalism
experience to present factual yet fascinating profiles of the buildings,
and what is known of the people who put them there. Larry Easton’s
spectacular photgraphs bring these beautiful stone buildings to life,
and Frank Kovermaker examines the dimensions and differences of the fieldstone that inhabits the Saskatchewan landscape.
