Lougheed House is a National & Provincial Historic site, Museum and gardens located in Calgary's Beltline community. This 14,000 sq.ft sandstone mansion was built in 1891 by Senator James Lougheed and his wife Lady Isabella Lougheed. Completely restored, today it is the Beltline community's hub of cultural happenings and programs offering preservation and interpretation of this home, the Lougheed family and early Calgary. We also offer spectacular flower and vegetable gardens (free), weddings and events, and indoors (with paid admission) we offer self-guided and audio tours, historic interpreters (if booked in advance) and year round revolving exhibits, concerts and happenings produced with our cultural collaborators.

This house was surrounded by beutiful plants and flower gardens. The house was very historic and well kept. This is worth a trip inside and see the value of the area.

Located on the south hill of Pincher Creek, Alberta, the Lebel Mansion was originally a home, then a hospital and now the home of the Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek and an art gallery. The facility offers tours of the mansion and occasionally if you are very quiet and still on the third floor, a ghost can be experienced searching for its soul. The mansion also offers an excellent gift shop featuring items made by local artisans. Great place to explore.

Not all public buildings can live up to the poetry of this Snohetta designed masterpiece. The LRT slips under it unobtrusively. The curved wood slats both draw you in and help you look out. The Children's section is full of corners and nooks and crannies for discovery. The path you take walking through the space around and around the central atrium is continually evolving, until you reach the reading room at the top. The way the windows are shaped and how that expresses itself on the inside is sublime. A beautiful place to sit and take in a book.

This municipal building's pyramid shape is strikingly contemporary.
Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada
We don't live in Edmonton, but when we visit the city and head downtown, we like to park in the large parking garage underneath. The best part is emerging from the parkade into the atrium of City Hall, it's a stunningly gorgeous place, bathed in light and shadows. Don't miss it! Calgary City Hall is always shut over the weekend, it's quite dingy inside, and doesn't hold a candle to Edmonton's City Hall at all...
