McCallum Hill Centre (Regina)

 office building, skyscraper

McCallum Hill Centre - Tower I (22-storey) and Tower II (20-storey) are cast-in-place concrete structures with blue semi-reflective glass curtainwall. One of the distinguishing features of these office towers is the 11 degree splayed walls. The twin towers are arguably Regina's most distinctive skyscrapers.

The west tower (Tower I) sits on the site of the original McCallum-Hill Building. It was Regina’s first skyscraper at ten storeys high, and the tallest building in Saskatchewan at the time. Real estate developers E.A. McCallum, E. M. McCallum and Walter H.A. Hill began construction of the McCallum-Hill office building in 1912. Designed by Regina architects Storey and Van Egmond, the prime office space faced beautiful Victoria Park and dominated the Regina skyline for years. The McCallum-Hill Building was imploded in six seconds with 200 pounds of explosives in 1982.
