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.

13526 - 101 Avenue. William Blakey was one of Edmonton's most influential architects. He arrived in Edmonton in 1907 following his brother and fellow architect, Richard to the rapidly growing city. While Richard rose to become Provincial Architect from 1912 to 1924, William worked mostly in private practice.
He designed this house for his family in 1946 to reflect his advocacy of slab grade construction and other innovations in construction methods and materials. It features a symmetrical plan with a flat roof, large overhanging eaves, corner windows, and unornamented wall surfaces. These are all characteristic of the International style.

Charles J. Carter constructed this home in 1907. Similar to single-family dwellings built by other Edmonton entrepreneurs at the time, his house features a wooden frame, lapped wood siding, and a front veranda with turned porch columns.
The City relocated the Carter residence and stable from their original location at 54 Heiminck Street (10002-107 Avenue) to this spot in 1995 as a tribute to a time when horses, pigs, and chickens were more common in Edmonton yards than Fords, Toyotas, and Jeeps.
Carter worked as a contractor, blacksmith, and packer for the furniture company Blowey-Henry, and although his name graces this home, he only lived here for a short time. Others enjoyed the home for many long years. Residents included the baker, Charles W. Campbell; a retired couple, James and Mary Gauld; the men of the Men's Co-operative Residence here in the 1950s; and the longest-staying occupant, Martha Pehl, an employee of McGavin's bakery before her retirement.

9926 & 9928 - 112 Street.
In 1910 Eliza Chenier obtained a building permit for a duplex to be constructed on this site. Mrs. Chenier was the widow of Joseph Chenier who had owned a general store on Jasper Avenue, and is an interesting example of an early Edmonton female entrepreneur. In addition to her real estate investments, she was also listed as co-owner of the Strathcona Hotel from 1912 to 1923 with a business partner Joseph Beauchamp. Eliza Chenier lived in one half of the duplex until 1926 and Joseph Beauchamp occupied the other until 1919.
Their ownership of the Strathcona Hotel did not work out well and their mortgage company foreclosed on the partnership in 1923, just before the repeal of Prohibition would make most hotels profitable again. Nonetheless, Beauchamp was a well-known local hotelier having owned or managed several hotels in Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton. He is best known for his association with the Cecil Hotel from 1924 until his death in 1949.
The heritage value of the duplex also is found in its design and architectural details. Its symmetrical form and square, box-like layout marks it as a variation of the classical four-square house pattern. However, as a duplex it is much larger than most Edmonton residences built in this style. The full length front porch and smaller central second floor porch, wide window casings with decorative crowns, and extensive use of clapboard all reflect building styles and tastes in the early 1900s. Along with the other heritage buildings in the area, it helps create a sense of the streetscape in a pre- First World War Edmonton neighbourhood.

10606 - 84 Avenue
This large brick Queen Anne style residence was built in about the year 1907 by Arthur Davies.
Mr. Davies was prominent in Strathcona's commercial and political life after 1895, and his grocery emporium was well known. He served as Strathcona's mayor in 1905 and once again in 1911, overseeing the amalgamation of the Cities of Strathcona and Edmonton. Mr. Davies earned recognition as the "Father of Greater Edmonton".
The Davies house design incorporates twin, two storey bow windows and classical details including sandstone string courses and lintels. A second storey balcony is supported by Tuscan columns from the porch below, and the underside of the roof.

10515 Saskatchewan Drive.
John Joseph Duggan was an alderman on the Town of Strathcona Council from 1899 to 1901 and Mayor of Strathcona in 1902-1904 and 1905-1910. He and his family lived in this house from 1907-1931.
