10053 Jasper Avenue.
In 1910, when Union Bank announced plans to build on this site few people would have predicted the building would hold a unique place in Edmonton's history. Shortly after opening, the Bank was one of over 10 banks situated on Jasper Avenue between 100th and 101st streets. Today it is the last remaining bank building of the pre-1914 era left on Jasper Avenue.
The Union Bank of Canada opened its first branch in Edmonton in 1900. As the business grew, land was sought on which to construct a suitable building. Buying property from Frank H. Gray for $50,000 in 1909, the Bank hired local architect Roland Lines to design this building.
Designed in the Modern Renaissance style, the local firm of Otto Edinger and Everett Nesbitt were hired as contractors. The base of the building is solid Bedford limestone from Indiana, also found on another Lines building, the Canada Permanent Trust. The red pressed brick, which came from local brickyards added colour to the appearance of the building.
In the original design, the main floor was used as the banking floor. The floor was tiled and finished with columns, entablatures and mahogany woodwork. The building was purchased by the Canadian Realty Company in 1911 for $121,500. In 1928, James Richardson and Sons became the new owner and held on to the building until 1979 when it was purchased by North West Trust.

Richard Wallace Residence

10950 - 81 Street.
Battle-weary soldiers returned home from the First World War to face an economic slump and widespread unemployment. Reunited families desperately sought the social stability and comfort that comes from simple family living. Defying the elaborate Victorian styles of the turn of the 20th century, the Craftsman-style homes that emerged in Edmonton's neighbourhoods in the 1910s and 1920s emphasized a longing for hominess and family virtues.
Built in 1923 and named after one of its earliest occupants, the Richard Wallace Residence exemplifies Craftsman qualities with its simple, meaningful design. The interior emphasizes form and function, with space conservatively and creatively fashioned for everyday living.
Richard Wallace, a registrar, sheriff, and clerk of the Supreme Court of Alberta resided here from 1925 until 1943.

10030 - 102A Avenue.
The cornerstone of Edmonton's original YMCA was laid on July 1, 1907 by Mrs. G.H.V. Bulyea, the wife of Alberta's first Lieutenant Governor. The completed building, which was officially opened on February 6, 1908, saw Edmonton's YMCA become another valuable link in the growth of the worldwide Young Men's Christian Association. In 1951, a new YMCA building was erected on an adjacent lot and was expanded in 1961.
Throughout this century the YMCA of Edmonton has consistently served the citizens of Edmonton and district with high quality physical, spiritual and social programs. The "Y" also provides shelter and friendship to the traveling public.
