- GIMBY RESIDENCE
Anyone who recalls Canada’s centennial in 1967 will recognize the Gimby name. In that year, Bobby Gimby was Pied Piper to Canada’s children, and made the centennial theme song, “C-A-N-A-D-A”, familiar across the country. - GLANVILLE/WARD BLOCK
Lougheed named his building after John Glanville, who operated a drygoods store in #105. - GOODRIDGE BLOCK
The construction of the Goodridge Block in 1912 was accompanied by a great deal of excitement. As excavations for the foundations of the new structure were being carried out, the west wall of the adjacent Jasper House Hotel started to crumble and fall into the hole. - GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Grace Presbyterian Church was built between 1911 and 1913 at 15th Avenue and 9th Street SW. - GRAIN EXCHANGE BUILDING
The Grain Exchange Building is Calgary’s first skyscraper and first “truly modern business block.” - GRANDE PRAIRIE FIRE HALL PIONEER MUSEUM
This building is a replica of Grande Prairie's first fire hall as it was designed by the local architect Charles Spencer. For many years the building served as both the fire hall and town hall. - GRANDIN SCHOOL
Grandin School is another reminder of the strong French community in the parish of St. Joachim. Nuns of the Fidelès Campagnes de Jésus order arrived in October 1888 to teach and found a convent. - GREAT WEST BLOCK
Harry Litle arrived in Fort Macleod from Calgary in 1893 to establish the Carson and Shore Saddlery Company for harness repair and heavy horse supplies. - GREAT WEST SADDLERY BUILDING
Both the Great West Saddlery Building and the original portion of the Horne and Pitfield Building were designed by the Edmonton architect E.C. Hopkins and constructed in 1911, so it is hardly a surprise that they appear so similar. - GREENE BLOCK
The Greene Block was constructed in 1901 for George Greene, who came to Red Deer from Ontario in 1891 to establish a law practice.
