In the 1860s the Reverend George MacDougall bequeathed his homestead on this site to the Methodist Church for educational and missionary purposes. Alberta College was founded by members of the MacDougall Church Board in 1903. The college offered a curriculum of music, commercial, secondary school and university transfer subjects, initially in affiliation with McGill University.
After a year in temporary premises, the college occupied its first permanent building on this site in 1904. In 1926 the Theological Department was amalgamated into St. Stephen's College on the University of Alberta campus. That same year the college expanded into a handsome gothic style building faced with tapestry brick and Indiana limestone. The building was demolished in 1961, and its successor was in turn replaced by the current structure which opened in 1993.

9700 Jasper Avenue. When the Alberta Hotel was built in 1903 it was regarded as the most fashionable establishment in Edmonton.

It was here that Sir Wilfred Laurier stayed when he proclaimed Alberta a province in 1905.

10139 - 116 Street. Balfour Manor began life as Fire Hall No. 4, built by the City of Edmonton in 1911-1912, to serve the developing west end. The Fire Hall was built to accommodate horses and horse-drawn equipment but was closed in 1921 due to 'motorization of the department'. Thereafter, the building served for a time as a garage, a residence and a home/office for a mail contractor. In 1935, it was the location for the Midland Bus Lines garage. During the time that the building was used as a bus garage, apartments were occupied on the upper floors.
In 1939, the building was remodeled and modernized by Edmonton contractor Joseph N. Cote, and the new ten-unit apartment opened in August as Balfour Manor. It continues as an apartment building to the present day.

10834 - 125 Street. Stewart Hill, of the South Side Realty Company, constructed this home around 1912. The Craftsman style house emphasized the use of natural materials and a simplistic design including elements such as the exposed wood frame construction, and timber siding and shingles. The designer emphasized earthiness and openness in contrast to the technological modernity and detailing stressed in the previous industrial era.
Charles and Mabel Barker, the first occupants of this house, moved here for only one year in 1915. At the time Charles priced hardware for Revillon Wholesale, but since emigrating from England in 1906 he also built and sold houses on the side, and the family moved between four different addresses from 1915 to 1925. Their last residence on 97 Street is similar to this one.
