Lougheed House

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. Today, it is a National and Provincial Historic Site and has been open as a museum since 2005. 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.
