This took place in the fall of 1904. The Warman railway station was in operation from 1907 until 1942 when it was moved to its current location; the building now serves as a Seniors Drop-in centre.In 1910, A fire destroyed much of the town, including most of Main Street, which contained much of Warman's businesses and the pool house, reducing Warman's population. For this reason, Main Street became a residential side street as Warman's businesses opted to rebuild along Central Street instead.
