Heritage inventory

The City of Calgary Inventory of Evaluated Historic Resources records the following on this parcel.

AGT Building - Hillhurst Exchange

Construction year: 1922
Architect: Unknown
Style: Edwardian Classical
Typology: Communications Facility
Development era: 1919 to 1929 (Post WWI to Stock Market Crash)
Original use: Industry
Planning theme: Urban Development
Designation: Inventory listing only
Inventory class: CHR

Alberta Government Telephones expanded its Calgary service widely in the years following World War I. This automatic exchange, originally called the Louise Exchange, was built to serve the Hillhurst district in 1922. It was presumably designed by the Provincial Department of Public Works, and construction was supervised by AGT's Jack McKibbin. The rectangular brick building is of a simple yet good design, with quality brick work highlighted by fine arches around the windows and by horizontal string courses.

The building remains as originally constructed, even the original window frames are intact. It forms part of a very good streetscape, although one with few historic buildings. (1982)

An inspection result is a record of one visit, not a verdict on the building. 5 of these 20 results are recorded as Not Acceptable. In the City's process a Not Acceptable result is an ordinary step: the inspector lists what must change and the work is re-inspected, which is why the most common outcome across the record is Acceptable Add Inspection. Most results relate to a single tenant improvement rather than the whole building. Inspector notes are The City of Calgary's own text at retrieval, with contact details removed; applicant and contractor names are never read.
