Meewasinota Community Residence (Albany Hotel)

Meewasinota Community Residence (Albany Hotel) (Saskatoon)


Originally named the Iroquois Hotel and built in 1906, the business was renamed the Albany Hotel in 1912 after an extensive enlargement and alteration. Over the decades, the Albany gained a reputation as a "seedy" hotel and was the scene of many violent crimes.

It closed in the late 1990s, and was acquired by Corrections Canada. Starting in 2000, it serves as a halfway house for federal offenders, under the name of the Meewasinota Community Residence.
