This 1912 Arts and Crafts Bungalow, was recently added to the City’s Inventory of historic resources thanks to its owners.
“The Sanderson Residence is…valued as a uniquely detailed and well-crafted example of a modest Arts and Crafts Bungalow.”
Also of interest is its location on Gladstone Road, further on the history of the area between 10 and 14th Streets: “Traditionally, the area was matted with bogs and sloughs, creating challenges for the straight lines of subdivision development. Indigenous groups who lived in this area carved a trail that followed the north edge of this slough. In the 1904 subdivision, this angled trail became Gladstone Road.” Making this road one of the oldest in our city!
2. Coming soon…the Hillhurst Sunnyside ‘Historical Context Paper’! The HSCA in collaboration with Heritage Calgary (Civic Partner, City of Calgary) has recently hired a consultant to research and write a ‘Historical Context Paper’ about our community. Its purpose will be:
To identify and clarify the main cultural elements of the community
To identify the main elements of built heritage valued by the community
To identify the features of landscape history that help define the community
To appeal to a broad audience including residents and visitors
To help audience form strong connections to the place and its stories
Prioritize above elements based on community and committee feedback
While this initiative will be led by Consultants, anyone interested in volunteering in any capacity, please contact ali.m@hsca.ca
