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.

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.
