10125 - 104 Street. This 1912 structure is one of the city's finest remaining examples of commercial style architecture. It is significant because of its association with the early development of Edmonton's warehouse district, an area that accommodated the city's industrial and warehousing commerce. The Armstrong Block is one of a collection of surviving, important warehouse buildings that attest to Edmonton's rapid expansion prior to World War I. The uniqueness of this building is the combination of residential, warehouse and commercial uses, the same functions that it has served since its construction.
The Armstrong Block is also noted for its architecture, a prominent example of Edwardian-era combination of commercial and residential functions. The basement and first floor served wholesale businesses; offices were located on the second floor while the third and fourth floors housed residential units.
The Armstrong was the only building in the warehouse district to be constructed with brick and steel throughout, unusual at the time. Designer David Hardie included such architectural details as projecting brick pilasters, cast stone detailing, arched lintel, pressed metal cornices and an elevated front stone parapet with cast stone "A" insignia.
The building was fully restored in 2004.

All Saints' Cathedral.
In 1875 the Anglican Church first held regular services in a loaned cabin located just outside the walls of Fort Edmonton. One year later Canon Newton was forced to vacate this cabin. Malcolm Groat then offered nine acres of land on which a church could be built. Subsequently, a log structure was built near what is now 121st Street and Jasper Avenue. Due to the ever increasing size of the congregation, a final move to 103rd Street near Jasper Avenue was made in 1895. Since that time, numerous demolitions, additions, and new constructions have taken place. The present fine structure, All Saints' Cathedral was dedicated on May 10, 1956.

9700 Jasper Avenue. When the Alberta Hotel was built in 1903 it was regarded as the most fashionable establishment in Edmonton. It included the finest bar and restaurant in the district and featured an elevator, a unique call bell system and the Town's first shower baths.

Richard Foote was in Edmonton by the time a building boom began after 1903. The young bricklayer went to work on the Alberta Hotel on Jasper Avenue. Later, as a contractor, he led the construction of Edmonton's Civic Block, St. Mary's High School, Athabasca Hall at the University of Alberta, as well as the psychiatric hospital at Ponoka. Married twice with seven children, Foote served as an alderman from 1934 to 1936, and then worked as an assistant city building inspector, retiring four years before his death in 1948.
Foote built this Foursquare residence in 1907, and moved into it one year later. The overhanging eaves, open veranda, square columns, and symmetrical design typify the Prairie-style architecture of the era. Unique to Foote's design are the dormers and widow's walk on top of the pressed sheet metal bell cast roof that flares out at the bottom, and the ground floor level brick banding, or rustication. Note the multiple paned bay windows: a distinctive front-facing one, and on the south side, one with a subtle curve.
