Cranford Hall Demolished After Decades of Use
The Cranford Hall site in three locations Taber Cranford and Medicine Hat area has been demolished leaving an empty lot. Owned by Bill Taminga who bought land about ten years ago the hall stood until early 2025 when a local drone business redevelopment plan led to its razing. The Cranford Community Recreation Society previously held ownership with MD of Taber funding yearly grants and debts cleared in 2014 before sale. Local memories from Harry Halma recount reduced community activity depopulation and highway changes diminishing the hall’s role as a social hub.
