It’s not haunted, but the Jackson House is said to be watched-over by its famous late owner. Billy Cowsill of the Partridge Family-inspiring group The Cowsills, was only one of the many who once lived in this turn-of-the-century home....

-----------------------------------
I want to SHOUT OUT A Big THANK YOU to all concerned about saving the Jackson/Cowsill house.
Maybe you should come down here and teach this Country about saving its Heritage.
I Hope the house will be put to good use. I know Bill wanted to help People with their lives. Maybe This can happen yet.
It is a lovely house and needs to be standing Proud and Beautiful in all it's Glory.
What a lovely end to a lovely house and a lovely Man and I feel Bill Cowsill would be so proud as he so loved your City and it's People. What a fitting end to a good thing.
Thank you for all you have done to save this building.
Some day I hope to visit your Lovely City.
Thank you again and best wishes to you.
Keep us updated please.

I represent the group who have recently acquired the property and rest assured it will NOT meet the fate of a wrecking ball. Restoration of the property commenced in early June and we hope to have it finished by early October.
If you should have any questions please direct to Lynk at dabear3@hotmail.com

We have learned that the house has been purchased by a buyer who intends to preserve the house as a live-work place. Let's hope this works out!
This spring the Jackson (Cowsill) house was added to the Calgary Inventory of Evaluated Historic Resources as a Community Heritage Resource. This does not confer much protection, but it does put it on the City radar and would likely not have happened without the profile of the house being raised by CHI and Billy Cowsill fans...Here is a brief summary from the heritage evaluation:
Evaluation of the Jackson (Cowsill) Residence
1723 9 Street SW (1911)
Evaluated as a Community Historic Resource (CHR)
The Jackson House, built in 1911, is one of the original residences in Calgary’s Lower Mount Royal district. It is a two and one-half storey, foursquare-plan house detailed in the American Colonial-revival style. The wood-frame, red-brick veneer house features a paneled front verandah, balconies, and Palladian dormer windows. The first resident, Frank Jackson, was a construction contractor and lived, with his family in this house until 1930. One of the more recent residents was internationally-renowned musician Billy Cowsill (Hair, 1969) who was a prominent figure in the local root-music scene until his death in the house February 2006.

What a pity these can't be save because of an oversite.
People unite.
Thanks.
