Home Sweet Heritage Home Intro Page



	In 1988 the estate of donated an extensive collection of slides and photographs of Calgary's historic buildings and residences to Calgary Public Library's Local History Collection. The residences featured in Home Sweet Heritage Home have been selected from this collection and were photographed by Ms. Jackson between 1957 and 1977 because of their association with famous or notable Calgarians. Although some of the houses, constructed primarily between 1891 and 1952, have since been demolished, a number of them are still used as private residences. Some of the homes, like Senator James Lougheed's "Beaulieu" designated as a National Historic Site in 1995, have been designated as historically significant at the municipal, provincial or national level. Many are currently listed on the City of Calgary's Inventory of Potential Heritage Sites because they are architecturally significant and/or are associated with notable Calgarians. Through these photographs and accompanying biographies, Home Sweet Heritage Home explains how the contributions of these citizens shaped the history and development of Calgary and the nation.
