The cenotaph was unveiled on Nov. 11, 1929 in the middle of the street at the intersection of 21st Street and Second Avenue. Concern that the 8.5-metre monument was becoming a traffic hazard prompted its move to the civic square south of city hall in 1957.

The junction of 8th Street and Circle Drive was originally, in the late 1960s, constructed as a large roundabout dubbed the "Traffic Circle". The first such construction of its kind in Saskatchewan, motorists found it difficult to navigate, leading to local media airing advisories on how to use it. The site of many accidents over the years, and dubbed the most accident-prone location in the city, the circle was ultimately dismantled in the 1980s and replaced with a standard at-grade intersection for a decade until a standard diamond interchange was constructed, then an over pass.

The Bessborough opened in 1935, the Châteauesque-styled building is 58.5-metre-tall (192 ft), containing 10 floors. The building is considered one of Canada's grand railway hotels.

The bridge was constructed as a "make-work" project during the Great Depression. Construction of the bridge employed 1,593 men, who worked in three shifts around the clock. The total cost at the time of construction was $850,000.

Opened in 1908, the station served as a passenger depot, telegraph station, mail and freight depot. The CPR discontinued passenger service in 1960.

Meewasin Riverworks Weir, one of Saskatoon's landmarks, was initially developed as a water reservoir and regulator of water flow through the city. Built in 1939, the weir was one of a number of Depression era make-work projects. When the Gardiner Dam was built upstream in 1967, the weir was no longer necessary to regulate water flow. The weir remains one of Saskatoon's most popular visitor attractions for viewing wildlife and resting along the Meewasin Valley Trail.
