About Lougheed House
Lougheed House in Calgary is a historic sandstone building with National Historic Site status. It was built in 1891 for Senator James Alexander Lougheed and his wife, Isabella, and was considered one of the grandest mansions on the Canadian Prairies. After the owners' deaths, the property served a variety of purposes, including as a training center and as headquarters of the Red Cross. Today, the restored building is a major tourist attraction. You can tour the historic interior and learn about Calgary's social history, since the house was once a hub of local life.
