Scope and content
10310 - 102 Avenue. In 1910 Ross Brothers retail and wholesale dealers built what was considered one of the most modern hardware warehouses in Western Canada. The Boardwalk was designed by E.C. Hopkins, and built by Pheasey and Baston. From this time on this area became a focal point in Edmonton's commercial and warehouse district during its first major boom preceding the First World War.
From 1910 to 1912 Ross Bros. operated this building. James Ross had arrived in Edmonton in 1878 and was a town alderman on four occasions. From 1912 until 1921 Marshall Wells Hardware owned the building, and in the fifty years between 1921 and 1971 Ashdowne Hardware, whose painted logo was for many years a feature of this corner, carried on the business. In 1928 and 1940 additions were made.
N.A. Properties, the current owners, completed a major restoration of the building. It is considered as the largest and best example of Second Renaissance Revival style in Edmonton.
