THE HOUSE
Constructed in 1891 with 3 acres of garden, the sandstone mansion blends Victorian and Edwardian architectural styles and was renowned for its beauty and innovations. Its restoration in 2005 preserved the house as a National and Provincial Historic Site and one of the oldest buildings in Calgary on its original location.
THE HOME
This family home of Senator Sir James Alexander Lougheed and Lady Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed was also a political, cultural, and social hub in Calgary until 1936. Emerging community groups then made their home here to serve the changing city, including a women’s training facility, a women’s army corps, and finally a Red Cross blood donor clinic.
