    Wow, I would've never guessed that little church right by Fish Creek Lacombe Station would be one of the oldest buildings in Calgary. Amazing work, man!

    Didn't think that gift shop to be anything of significance after the many times I've walked by and visited it, never would've thought it was 135 years old

    Basements of Steven Ave. 20 years ago I had a lot of Friends that worked in shops on Steven ave. They say there is an old underground subway that connects all the buildings. They said the passage was bricked up into basement storage rooms for each shop.

    Hey, you got yourself a new subscriber! I love learning about my city.
    I think it would be really interesting to go into depth on the Mount Royal and Elbow Park neighbourhoods, since I know they used to be "cottage lands"

    I think the Patrick Burns you mention at about 4:45 had a historic building named after him that was almost demolished in the early 1980’s. I was a high rise plumber / pipe fitter in Calgary at the time (I worked on the AGT building ... now “Telus” I think ... and First Canadian Plaza Bank of Montreal building) and remember the “save the Burns Building” campaign! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_Building

    I also am a third generation Calgarian and my kids and grandkids are fourth and fifth generation that also live in Calgary. I loved the video, but was wondering if any houses at Heritage Park are as old as the houses mentioned. I know Herirage Park has some older houses from different towns and the houses were moved to Heritage Park and totally re-done.

  • @devonmoore2774
    @devonmoore2774 5 років тому +4

    Very interesting and great videos. My only suggestion would be to show the locations on a map prior to diving into their history. I live in Calgary, but am not familiar with their actual locations in the City.

    • @kelsynorman
      @kelsynorman  5 років тому +4

      I decided to put their addresses instead of showing where they are on a map, only so people would look them up themselves and be more active participants in the experience. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for this video. Very fascinating stuff. I know that the brick fence located here in Killarney along 26 Street SW goo.gl/maps/ZGGUB6g4pyC2 is the remnants of the original brick fence and gate that used to be surround the Killarney Ranch before it was annexed by the COC in 1910 and developed for housing at the beginning of WWI. That ranch went all the way around from that spot to where the Westbrook Walmart is now and back. I've been told (and haven't be able to verify if it's true) that the original ranch house is still in the neighbourhood, but I couldn't tell you which one it is if it's even still there.

    when ever i watch any vintage or history video of calgary they never ever (if any) talk about the non white people ....... that built this civilization too, even the Chinese Railroad builders.
