The **Rumely Building** is a heritage building located at 244–226 Pacific Avenue in the [Central Business District](/source/Central_Business_District,_Saskatoon) of [Saskatoon](/source/Saskatoon), [Saskatchewan](/source/Saskatchewan), [Canada](/source/Canada). Formerly serving as a warehouse for the [Rumely Company](/source/Advance-Rumely), the building has been converted into residential condominium lofts with commercial units located on the ground floor.

## History

The [M. Rumely Company](/source/Advance-Rumely) (a manufacturer of heavy farm equipment) in April 1912 started work on the construction of a new showroom/office/warehouse building on a railway spur line in the downtown area of Saskatoon.[1] The 12 by 25 ft elevator and 9-inch (230-millimetre) thick floor permitted heavy equipment to be stored on the upper floors.[1]

In 2007, work started on five store additions on the south side of the building and conversion of the building into 30 condominium lofts.[2]
