Kerrobert’s original waterworks system was built in 1914 and featured a 100 foot high standpipe Water Tower. This tower with its eleven, 7 fott high rings of riveted steel, has a storage capacity of 150,000 gallons of water. This facility is one of only three such towers remaining in Saskatchewan and it is the only one still in use today.
Kerrobert graduates have made a tradition of painting their names on the barn that sits along Highway 21 just west of the town.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Station site was constructed in 1911 and featured an exotic garden area, complete with fountain. The building has since become the home of the Kerrobert Fish and Game Association.
The former location of the Kerrobert Wheatland Library is the original Canadian Bank of Commerce building. It was constructed in 1911 and is situated at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Bosworth Street. The two lots on which this building sits were the first two lots auctioned in Kerrobert and the bank paid $2,040.00 for the property. The auctioneer was no less than T.C. Norris the future Premiere of Manitoba.
