Strathcona Hotel: “In 1891 the Calgary and Edmonton Railway completed its line and built a station just south of the North Saskatchewan river adjacent to what is now Whyte Avenue. Travelers to the Edmonton area needed somewhere nearby to stay, so the railway company built this 45-room hotel.” Photo by Mike Moruzi

10421 - 82 Avenue (Now home to Famoso Pizza): “In 1907 this building was constructed by Robert Ritchie, founder of the Edmonton Milling Company. Until 1912 it was an outlet for the Great West Saddlery Company. Starting in that year, under the leadership of A.B. Chapman, joined soon thereafter by his sons, Bus and his brothers, the Chapman family have owned and operated this retail business at this location since 1912. This business represents an important aspect of early Strathcona and Edmonton commercial history.”
