Calgary Labour Temple

Construction year: 1912
Architect: Unknown
Style: Edwardian Commercial
Typology: Office
Development era: 1906 to 1913 (Pre WWI Boom, Age of Optimism)
Original use: Commerce
Planning theme: Urban Development
Designation: Inventory listing only
Inventory class: CHR

Realizing the necessity for a central meeting place, the trade unionists in Calgary organized the Calgary Labour Temple Company in 1912 to erect a suitable labour building. With a capitalization of $75,000, the group erected what was hoped to be a temporary hall on 11 Avenue between 1 and 2 Streets E. The hall became the centre of union activity in the city, and the home of the Calgary Trades and Labour Council, first formulated in 1905.

Initially a one-storey building, it was redeveloped in 1954. Although expansion plans were considered as early as 1931, when architects Fordyce & Stevenson were commissioned to remodel the structure, attempts were interrupted by economic downturns and the Second World War. A simple, rectangular building, the structure is distinguised by brickwork that gives the impression of arches over the entrance and first-storey windows. The 1954 second-storey addi

An inspection result is a record of one visit, not a verdict on the building. 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.
