Description

One popular method of preserving the built environment is through the designation of a building as a heritage structure deemed significant for certain reasons. These reasons may include the building's age, its architectural style, or perhaps a notable architect or occupant. This Heritage Note provides a brief historical background on houses in Alberta as well as guidance on researching houses to determine their significance. This is the tenth in a series of Heritage Notes, which are intended to provide guidance on a range of topics in the field of historic resource management.
