The land, located outside the city boundary, was purchased by McCallum Hill & Co. in 1904. Lot values dramatically increased when the province purchased an adjacent parcel for the Legislative Building in 1906. It was subdivided that same year and annexed by the City of Regina in 1911 to become Regina's finest residential district. Walter Hill, Edgar McCallum and other prominent land developers constructed substantial homes in this neighbourhood. Initial sales were brisk and further enhanced in 1912 when a municipal streetcar line was built on Albert Street, running south to 25th Avenue and then on to the Wascana Country Club. Although it was largely developed by the onset of the Great Depression, another three decades would pass before the neighbourhood was essentially completed. The development over time was relatively slow and scattered. Some of the homes constructed in the interwar period were as imposing as those built a decade earlier.

Despite suffering from painful mental illness, Scott established policies, governmental infrastructure, and institutions that shaped the future of Saskatchewan. Sadly, his remarkable contributions, like his untended tombstone, have been largely forgotten. Walter Scott said, “This is a great country. It needs big men with large ideas.” The ideas and achievements of Saskatchewan’s citizens and leaders are impressive, indeed. Tommy Douglas, one of our best-known Premiers, improved labour standards, enhanced the cooperative sector, modernized the province through the Crown Corporations, and laid the groundwork for Canada’s first Medicare system.
