There are eight sites on the heritage inventory in the Stampede Expansion zone. Six are being retained, the 'duplex' is apparently being demolished (update: demolished in 2006) and Westbourne Church is still being discussed:
Dafoe Terrace at 1206 – 3rd St SE is a provincially designated site and is remaining under separate (private) ownership. The owner is Mike Giammarco - a link to his comments to Council regarding Stampede Expansion is in a prior posting. Stampede Casino will wrap around it to the east and south.
Duplex Residences at 1314/1318 - 3rd St. SE have been demolished.
Westbourne Baptist Church/Victory Outreach Church, 436 – 13th Avenue SE. The fate of this building, associated with Social Credit Premier Bill Aberhart, is uncertain. For more photos and information about the risk to this important building go to

The
Stampede Corral is staying, but may be surrounded by new development that makes it difficult to view. Historic information from the Calgary Public Library:

The Grocery/Apartment 602 at 13th Avenue SE will continue as the home of the Kinsmen Club.
The Oliver Residence at 619 – 13th Avenue SE may become the office of the Young Canadians. Notable for its very unusual concrete block construction.
The
Weston Bakery-Golden West Bakery, 640 14th Ave. SE will be part of the Olds College campus. (This is an old photo... most of the houses pictured in the are have since been demolished. New photo coming soon).
Below is an artists conception of how Olds College might use the building. Here is a link to more information about the Olds College Calgary Campus:

WESTON BAKERY
640 - 14th Avenue SE
Since 1925 a bakery building has been located at 640 - 14th Avenue SE. The original, owned by John Mitchell, was destroyed by fire a few years after it was built. Mitchell sold the property to Thomas Cameron who built the current structure as a bakery in 1929-1930 which he called Golden West. Weston's Bakery of Toronto acquired Golden West in 1939. Cameron continued to manage the company until the 1950s and the building was used as a bakery until 1989 when it was sold to The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede.
Currently the Weston Bakery building is being used by The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede as a warehouse and storage facility. The Weston Bakery will become a Calgary Campus for Olds College. The original building will go through extensive renovations in addition to a new
glass entryway. Another glass structure will be built adjacent to the Weston Bakery to accommodate the large number of staff and students expected to utilize the Calgary Campus. Olds College has partnered with The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede to include the new campus in The Stampede Expansion and Development Plan. A transitional facility located on the Stampede Grounds will be operational for classes starting in fall 2006 and the Weston Bakery facility will be completed by late 2008.
Rundle Ruins at 632 – 13th Avenue SE, the remains of Calgary's first General Hospital, are staying, although there has been talk from the Stampede about 'moving around' some of the remnants. There are concerns that the cornerstone is crumbling. See here:
