Click here to see a "Workers of the World Unite" propaganda sheet that was found during the renovation behind the main-floor ceiling of this house. It probably dates to around 1912, not only because of the political sentiment, but also because the paper was very crumbly and fragile. I was not able to copy it exactly due to its poor condition. The original was donated to the Glenbow Archives.
This house was built with balloon framing construction techniques, which replaced older labour-intensive timber frame and log-cabin methods. "Balloon framing used studs running the full height of the building. The floor joists sat on a sill and were nailed to the studs. The skeleton was given lateral strength through sheathing consisting of milled boards nailed to the frame and covered with siding. In a balloon framed house each stud was a load bearing element. The resulting frame was rigid, requiring a good foundation that would not let it shift and fracture." ... "Balloon framing relied upon the mechanized production of standardized sawn lumber and plenty of nails to hold it together. Once a costly item, nails had become so inexpensive by the 1880s that they could be used in huge quantities ..." "The primary advantage of milled frame construction, whether platform or balloon framed, was its low labour requirements. The skills needed for such construction could be mastered easily and a few men could build a house quickly ..." (from Homes in Alberta: Building, Trends, and Design by Donald G. Wetherell and Irene R. A. Kmet, ©1991, page 140-141) During the renovation, I found the following written in pencil on the back of one of the baseboards: "C. Caush 1644 3rd Ave Westmount SW". This house was divided into three suites at one time, but is a single family home once again. |

Resident information from Henderson's Directories (1912 to the last one in 1991) at the Glenbow Archives and at the Peel Library University of Alberta website.
In the 1910 and 1911 editions, there is no Third Avenue NW nor SW.
The Street Name of Third Avenue NW, as shown in the 1912 Henderson's, probably should be SW.

When the roof was reshingled in 2016, there was a cedar shake roof below the asphalt shingles. And below the cedar shakes was "sheathing" paper with a swastika logo. This probably dates the cedar shake roofing to 1912 - the original roofing. A cedar shake roof lasts 30-40 years, and 1912 plus 30 years is 1942 - long past the time when swastikas were popular in logos. The roof itself is made of 10" wide, 1" thick old-growth-forest planks - good for another 100 years.
