      Sometimes the day just isn't long enough. The Abernathy area is "the" place to see old stone buildings in Saskatchewan.

    Looks to be in great shape. Metal roof I think?

      Yes, metal it is. Metal roofs are the most cost effective but aren't historically accurate. A new cedar shake roof would have cost a small fortune.
