Hello!

My wife and I will be moving back to Calgary after a couple of years in Europe. We've developed a taste for older buildings and would really like to find something to rent with character in Calgary. So far we've come up with Moxam & Congress, the Hester House and Anderson Estates.

Any other suggestions, ideas or leads would be most appreciated. Thanks so much!

I have a huge suggestion. The City of Calgary website has a searchable list of buildings on the heritage inventory. Use the search term "apartment" and it turns up quite a list, many of which are still extant, rentable apartments! Should give you a start.

Skinner Managment also operates a few older buildings, notably the Cape Breton (1940s?) and Margaree (circa 1912) that aren't on the inventory.

Wow, huge is an understatement, this is downright overwhelming! Thanks very much for your suggestion, this search is a gold mine. We will be digging into it and sending out a lot of emails.

thanks again!
