Despite this, it is nevertheless masterfully refined in its cleanliness. The ubiquitous brown brick, stucco accents, T-shaped cast concrete awning, simple massing of what is essentially three staggered boxes. Again, faultlessly forgettable, but once noticed, a brilliantly subtle piece of mid-century architecture.

Plant species were deliberately selected based on their ability to thrive in Alberta’s climate. A notable exception is the original Japanese Cypress, many of which have not survived, and have therefore been replaced with the hardier and visually similar Port Orford Cedar. The garden is a cultural landscape with an evolving vision, and a historic resource that represents an ongoing dialogue between plants and environment.

The floor plan was kept almost completely intact. Infill flooring discreetly identifies original door and wall locations openings adjusted for accessibility and emergency egress requirements. Interior features include the restored police office of varnished tongue-and-groove fir, original jail cells and an enigmatic bullet hole in a bedroom closet discovered during documentation of the interior walls. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/10-2017-addition.jpg10-2017-additionA rear addition and boardwalks provide barrier-free access for all visitors to the museum. Conservation standards recommend that new construction be compatible with, but distinguishable from, historic elements. The addition is placed in a way that it remains hidden from the street. Seen from the rear in this photograph, the new exterior suits the site but is distinguished from the historic building by its more modern insulated windows and wood siding that differs from the historic shiplap. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/09-2017-grand-opening.jpg09-2017-grand openingThe APP Building is unveiled at the grand opening in June 2017. The west wall consists of both salvaged original shiplap and new wood siding installed onto the upgraded wall assembly. Traditional linseed oil paint provides a flexible, breathable paint surface that retained the rough patina of original painted material without invasive sanding and refinishing. The west door with its restored canopy is now an emergency exit with a large step required by code. The single-hung wood windows with traditional exterior storm windows replicate the missing original elements based on surviving fragments and historic photographs. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/08-perimeter-wall-intervention-areas.jpg08-perimeter wall intervention areasOriginal exterior walls were treated in six different ways, illustrated above, as dictated by wall conditions, conservation goals and code requirements. The east wall (A) needed fireproofing because of a neighbouring residence. This was unavoidable because moving the building farther west onto the new foundation would have compromised the site’s character as it appeared from the southwest shortly after Lawson’s murder in 1922. The wall was fire rated with Type X drywall sheathing and sheet metal cladding of the wood soffits and fascia along that wall. Original east-facing window openings were sealed but otherwise left intact. By contrast, the original north wall (F) was left as found and incorporated into the new rear addition, where it is exposed and interpreted in the visitor reception room. Other walls were upgraded with mineral wool batt insulation, moisture and air barriers for better thermal performance and long-term conservation of the wood structure. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/07-2017-exterior-stripped.jpg07-2017-exterior strippedIn this February 2017 photograph, removal of the exterior siding reveals the stacked 2x4 construction of the original jail cells at the building’s northwest corner, built to resist escape. Farther along the wall, framing of the 1904 structure is fully exposed where shiplap siding was nailed directly onto the studs, resulting in a leaky wall assembly vulnerable to driving rains. The 1910s addition was more conventional construction of shiplap and drop siding on board sheathing. Rehabilitating the exterior walls was like peeling an onion—from both inside and outside—where varied and sometimes problematic construction presented significant technical and conservation challenges. Interventions were extensive but did only what was necessary to meet functional requirements while conserving the historic fabric and integrity.

The interior was extensively photographed and representative samples of wall coverings were collected, bagged and archived before the perimeter walls were stripped for asbestos remediation and repair in March 2017. Interior walls were kept intact beneath new drywall where possible to conserve a physical record of historic finishes for future analysis and interpretation. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/05-2016-interior-conditions.jpg05-2016-interior conditionsIn June 2016, the interior had suffered extensive water damage from roof leaks and moisture penetration through the exterior walls. A welter of finishes recorded decades of change and included the varnished tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings of the former APP office, linoleum flooring and wallpapers dating from the 1930s to the 1960s, and many layers of lead paint. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/04-2013-roof-chimney.jpg04-2013-roof & chimneyThe deteriorating brick chimneys were rebuilt to the original design in late 2012 with traditional step flashings and replacement bricks reclaimed from areas hidden within the attic. The roof had leaked badly but rot was not extensive thanks to a traditional spaced board deck and ventilation from the area’s frequent dry winds. The roof structure was braced to meet current code and two layers of old roofing, one of which may have included the original cedar shingles, were replaced with new No. 1 Grade Western red cedar shingles. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/03-2010-foundation.jpg03-2010-foundationA building needs a “good hat and boots.” The original wood structure(s) sat directly on grade and needed a new foundation. A concrete grade beam and pile foundation was constructed in 2009 and the building was moved approximately 1 metre west for more space along the east wall, where a gap of mere inches from the neighbouring residence prevented any access for rehabilitation or maintenance. The move was limited to ensure the west side remained basically as it was in 1922. A substantial crawl space within the foundation provides space for new heating systems and ducts. 2020-06-04T00:06:34+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2020/05/27/burdett-coutts-aristocracy-activism-railway-investing-and-alberta-place-names/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/william-lehman-ashmead-bartlett-burdett-coutts-1.jpgWilliam-Lehman-Ashmead-Bartlett-Burdett-CouttsWilliam Lehman Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts, by Elliot & Fry, albumen carte-de-visite, ca. 1870.

Glacier Pass Concretions formed when bands of silica-rich rock grew around a core over millions of years. Some bands were good for stone tools while other portions of the rock were thrown out because they were too soft and/or unpredictable to flake or ‘flint knap’. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/glacier-pass-artifacts-joined-draft-1.jpgGlacier Pass artifacts joined draft 1Figure 2. Recent research by an archaeological team from the Archaeological Survey of Alberta, Parks Canada, and the University of Alberta has revealed that pre-contact people cracked Glacier Pass Concretions to get at specific zones or bands of high quality stone that was ideal for making stone tools. The first two rows in this picture are mostly flakes removed while making tools. The bottom row (artifacts 11-15) are stone tools including knives, a core, and a likely spear head that may be over 6000 years old (14). https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/glacier-pass-field-cobbles-draft-1.jpgGlacier Pass field cobbles draft 1Figure 1.

Most of these cabins were built in the 1920s. The cabins were built using the same materials and techniques and, although there was no standard plan, many of the cabins were essentially identical.

Glen was a former Royal North-West Mounted Police officer and had joined the Dominion Forestry Branch in 1920. In addition to the Mile 58 Forestry Cabin, Glenn also built the Eagle’s Nest and Big Grave Flats cabins, and was likely involved in others as well. Source: Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

The varnished interior millwork practically glows and all upper and lower sashes have been restored to fully operable condition, making the double-hung windows especially effective for summer ventilation.

The paint was removed to reveal the original material, allow the masonry to breathe as originally intended, and to eliminate ongoing costs to maintain paint that is not historic. A chemical paint stripper and low-pressure washing were used after testing of the removal methods and monitoring to ensure the brick was undamaged by the cleaning process. Joint profiles replicate the original tooling – no easy task where excess mortar readily shows up against the textured brick.

The stucco southeast stair enclosure was removed and the damaged original masonry pony wall rebuilt using physical evidence of the feature and original blueprints. The pony wall was rebuilt with salvaged original brick as a veneer over concrete block infill to make up for unsalvageable original brick. A precast concrete coping and steel railing were added to meet code. Source: Historic Resources Management Branch.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/taber-6.jpgtaber-6Original varnished maple floors were mostly intact beneath later flooring of linoleum on plywood and recent laminate. The southeast office retains the “ghost” of a municipal office counter with gate at the far wall (upper left). Plywood infill identifies original stairs to the basement. Code requirements prevented reconstruction of the original stairs and new stairs were instead accommodated in a former washroom. To restore the main floor, later flooring was removed, damaged areas repaired with new maple closely matching the historic material, and floors were stained and varnished. A stain darker than the original finish blends new and old materials and hides extensive stains from leaking radiator pipes, while leaving the original stair footprint visible on very close inspection.

The wainscot represents the building’s later history as a municipal office. The wainscot was removed to restore the plaster interior from the period associated with the 1918 courthouse. Plywood on the ceiling covered plaster damage from roof leaks and supported mid-century acoustic tiles that have just been removed in this image.

The multi-pane windows were nearly all intact and are an important architectural feature and character-defining element. As is often the case in windy southern Alberta, the wood was dried and weathered with deep cracks or “checks” but showed little actual decay. Well-constructed windows of clear grain, old-growth fir are durable and resilient even after years without maintenance. With the right materials, repair skills and elbow grease, such windows can be restored to near-new condition. This retains an important historic element, conserves integrity, and keeps perfectly serviceable materials out of municipal landfills.

Areas like this are important evidence of earlier (and sometimes original) stucco colour and mortar joint profiles. Both the stucco and brick masonry exterior were painted.

In front of the steps, the prominent white stucco enclosure added in 1954 to keep rain and snow out of the original exterior basement stairway detracts from the symmetrical original exterior. Removing the enclosure was key to a restoration of the 1918 exterior.

The courthouse is an eclectic mix of signature elements of Blakey’s architectural work, which combines a stately Classical Revival canopy with a stucco exterior and details inspired by the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The architectural character underpins the building’s provincial heritage value as a prototype for early provincial courthouses and an example of Blakey’s work. Original blueprints exist but such documents may not reflect last-minute changes during construction. Later photographs from the 1950s and 60s show the building after additions for the Town Office. As-built records are key resources for conservation projects that may involve the restoration of missing features and removal of later elements unrelated to the heritage value.

The bottles at the upper right corner allow sediments to settle out to determine proportions of silt, clay, sand and organic matter and determine sand grading and colour. Sand is an important determinant of appearance in daubing and mortars. Traditional daubing is authentic, time-tested, and has physical properties that help draw moisture from the timber and contribute to long-term conservation of the logs.

The material was analyzed by dissolving in a mild acid—the so-called acid digestion method—which identified lime, sand, clay and strands of horsehair “temper”.

The early gold rushes in North America are captured in historic accounts and black and white photographs that sometimes mask the emotion, excitement, and the daunting prospects that awaited bold fortune seekers. This image captures the colour and youth of an early American miner, many of whom came north to BC and then Alberta and helped shape Western Canada's history along the way.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/grizzly-edmonton.jpgGrizzly EdmontonWashing gold with a ‘Grizzly’, Edmonton, 1890 (permission to reproduce image B5280 granted by Provincial Archives of Alberta). The grizzly was an early innovation in gold mining on the North Saskatchewan and is credited to long Edmonton resident Jim Gibbons who settled in the area after prospecting in the 1849 rush in California. The grizzly was a triangular apparatus with metal bars that allowed finer materials to fall through into the sluice box while larger gravels rolled off. https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/henry_sandham_-_the_cradle_wikipedia_commons.jpgHenry_Sandham_-_The_Cradle_Wikipedia_CommonsFigure 1.

Ice sheet deposits, climate, and Alberta’s animal and plant communities have produced largely ‘chernozemic soils’, which are generally not water-logged and have topsoil rich in organics from the long-term decomposition of grasses (Fuller 2010).

This is a surficial geology map of Alberta. Surficial geology refers to the loose material that rests on top of hard (‘lithified’) bedrock. Most of Alberta was blanketed with coarse sediment (gravel and sand mixed with some silt and clay) that glaciers dumped in beds and piles (called ‘moraines’). Moraine deposits are yellow on the map. Finer sediments settled to the bottom of large glacial lakes that once covered Alberta. These ‘glaciolacustrine’ sediments are in blue and are important in agriculture because finer clays tend to hold water and bind nutrients to prevent them from leaching away. Many rivers were at one time much wider than they are now and they deposited gravel, sand, silt, and clay across large winding valleys. These sediments are called ‘glaciofluvial’ and are orange on the map (map by Todd Kristensen with surficial geology data provided by Robin Woywitka, Archaeological Survey of Alberta). 2018-04-18T16:02:02+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2018/04/11/building-skills-using-seeds-and-shells-to-learn-about-albertas-ancient-environments/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/pondweed-header-wide-white-outline.jpgPondweed header wide white outlinehttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/pondweed-header-wide-white.jpgPondweed header wide whitehttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/pondweed-header-wide-black.jpgPondweed header wide blackhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fig-0-head-image-pondweed-seeds-crop-top-and-bottom1.jpgfig 0 Head image pondweed seeds crop top and bottomhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fig-4-tools-of-the-trade.jpgfig 4 tools of the tradeFigure 4. Tools of macrofossil identifcation. For identification you’ll need a means of viewing the small subjects – a dissecting microscope is the standard, though a good quality magnifying lens can sometimes do. Also pictured are typical implements for handling macros under magnification: fine forceps and a paint brush in a gridded petri dish (photographs by M. Bolton).https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fig-3-snail-drift.jpgfig 3 snail driftFigure 3.

These are scanning electron microscope images of the glass shards that make up Mazama (A,B); Bridge River (C); and Mount St. Helens Yn (D). Only Mazama has these ‘platey’ glass shards.

Often after a fire, the canopy has opened up and allows for more light to reach the forest floor giving shorter grasses and shrubs a chance to establish themselves. “Boreal pine forest after fire 2” by Hannuis in the public domain.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/image5-fireweed.jpgImage5-FireweedFollowing a fire, fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium; previously known as Epilobium Spp.) is one of the first species to reappear and help redevelop the landscape.

Thompson’s progress was heavily influenced by First Nations who sought to control the movement of people and goods across the Northern Rockies (Map of the North West Territory of the Province of Canada by David Thompson, 1843. Library and Archives Canada NMC 44302).https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/alberta-obsidian-parks-canada.jpgalberta-obsidian-parks-canadaThese obsidian artifacts were recovered from Waterton, Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks in the Northern Rockies and have been sourced by a team from the University of Georgia and the Royal Alberta Museum back to their volcanic origins using a technique called X-ray fluorescence. Most obsidian along Alberta’s Eastern Slopes is either from Bear Gulch in Idaho, Obsidian Cliffs in Wyoming, or Edziza in northwest British Columbia. This suggests that people of the mountains maintained widespread trade networks. Note that specimens 158 and 166 have small sections cut from them by analysts who attempted to determine how old the projectile points are using a technique called obsidian hydration dating (by Todd Kristensen).https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/retroactive-banner-graphic.jpgretroactive-banner-graphicRETROactive banner graphic2017-02-09T17:46:14+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2017/02/01/ask-an-expert-whats-the-most-unusual-archaeological-find-in-alberta-to-date/2017-02-03T23:01:36+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2017/01/11/christmas-at-the-ukrainian-cultural-heritage-village-2017/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ukrainianvillage_4868.jpgukrainianvillage_48682017-01-10T22:02:21+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2017/01/04/ask-an-expert-and-happy-new-year-2017/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/logoaskanexpert2.jpglogoaskanexpert22017-01-05T00:14:50+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2016/12/23/happy-holidays-2016/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/holiday-greeting-2016-013.jpgholiday-greeting-2016-012016-12-25T21:32:12+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2016/12/07/from-north-dakota-with-flair/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/figure-2-reconstruction-draft.jpgfigure-2-reconstruction-drafthttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/figure-3-map-draft-1-compressed.jpgfigure-3-map-draft-1-compressedhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/figure-3-map-draft-1.jpgfigure-3-map-draft-1Map of St. Mary Reservoir and the Knife River Flint quarries in North Dakota.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/banner.jpgbannerhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/figure-1-eccentrics-colour.jpgfigure-1-eccentrics-colour2019-11-26T20:05:29+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2016/11/30/elizabeth-street-school-medicine-hat-municipal-historic-resource/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/a10595.jpga10595Laying the corner stone of the Elizabeth Street School, 1912.

The ‘debuginfacemizer’ is a response to running into trees and not being able to see artifacts through a bug net. It has made a world of difference and I’m sharing it with the northern archaeological community to bring happiness to others. Step 1: Take some big and clunky safety glasses or racquetball goggles and use hot glue to seal the edges onto your bug net. Step 2: Cut out the bug net over the goggles. Step 3: Put another layer of hot glue on top of the edges of the goggles (so that there is a glue sandwich with mosquito net in between). Step 4: never use bug spray again. Step 5: Find tons of sites!https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/retroaactive-post-graphic.jpgRETROAactive post graphichttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/boreal-forest-shovel-tests.jpgBoreal forest shovel testsShovel tests are dug on landforms in the boreal forest to locate sites.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/green-zone-map.jpgGreen Zone mapRoughly 8000 sites have been found in Alberta’s boreal forest. 2016-08-30T18:27:36+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2016/08/17/rocky-mountain-alpine-project-willmore-wilderness-park/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/p8080617.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/p8110761.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAArchaeologist recording a prehistoric site at Casket Lake.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/imgp4443-e1471385592346.jpgIMGP4443Cairn in Willmore Wilderness Park.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/p8080656.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHistoric cairn on Intersection Mountain.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/p8100710.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAArchaeologist (Robin Woywitka) surveying an ice patch on Casket Mountain.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/imgp4403.jpgIMGP4403Caribou antlers found at one of the Willmore ice patches.2016-08-17T21:03:19+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2016/08/03/historic-archaeology-at-edmontons-mill-creek-ravine-volunteers-welcome/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_7501.jpgIMG_7501Glass bottles excavated at Mill Creek Shanty Town.

Like Little New York (Longview) to the south, Little Chicago, or Royalties, developed quickly after the 1936 oil strike in Turner Valley. The unofficial name was likely a sarcastic reference to the frantic pace of development at the town site, or a not-so-polite reference to a local shopkeeper.

It was invented by E.B. Olson, who founded Olson Curling Supplies, in Edmonton in 1933. Pebbling involves sprinkling warm water on the surface of the ice to give some grip for the rocks; if the ice was completely smooth it would not be possible to “curl” the stones.

Do you remember hearing the saying “Sleep tight” when you were a child? While it’s not known for sure, many believe that the saying originated with the use of rope beds such as this. A person would have to tighten the ropes of the bed every so often, otherwise the ropes might loosen and cause the person to fall through to the floor in the middle of the night. Possibly as a reminder to tighten the ropes, the saying: “Good night, sleep tight” came into being.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/small-size_church-interior.jpgSt. Charles MissionSt. Charles Mission, Church, Interiorhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/small-size_st-charles-mission_church-and-rectory.jpgSt. Charles Mission, Church and RectorySt. Charles Mission, Church and Rectoryhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/small-size_factors-house.jpgFactor's HouseFactor's House, Historic Dunvegan2013-04-03T21:08:12+00:00monthlyhttps://albertashistoricplaces.com/2013/04/02/hospitality-in-high-river/https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0181.jpgMuseum of the HighwoodA display at the Museum of the Highwood showcases the fire that caused significant damage.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0174.jpgAHRF Board Visit to the Museum of the HighwoodBob Gaetz (AHRF board member) and Fred Bradley (AHRF Chair) check out a display at the Museum of the Highwood.https://albertashistoricplaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0187.jpgSheppard Family ParkEnjoying tea and scones!
