The first recorded curling game in Canada took place in 1871 near Quebec City and 11 years later the game reached Kitchener-Waterloo. The Waterloo Curling Club organized in 1882 on a rink on Peppler Street, while the Kitchener Club started operations on Gaukle Street 1 year later. The K-W Granite Club was established by an amalgamation of the 2 Clubs in 1927.
The new Club purchased land for $2,500 and then purchased 3 adjacent properties for $6,800 at 69 Agnes St. in Kitchener. The original building consisting of 5 sheets of ice, a lounge, dining room, boardroom, locker room, furnace and ice equipment room was constructed at a cost of $32,000. For an additional cost of $30,000, artificial ice was installed for the 1928-29 season.
