Found this on MLS;
Claims to be built in 1893 in Inglewood, making it one of the oldest in the city. The location along the bow river is great.

MLS # C3596064

Interesting. Being that two inventoried houses from the 1800s exist in Inglewood (four if you include a couple of old fur trappers shacks), it wouldn't surprise me if there are more from that era in the original Calgary townsite (Inglewood).

Curious...

Is there a list on this site (or other website) of the oldest houses in Calgary...inventoried or otherwise?
I'm sure the list would be short for pre 1900.
