Community Development Notice of Intention to Designate a Provincial Historic Resource (Historical Resources Act) File: Des. 204 Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this Notice and its publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Community Development intends to make an Order that the site known as the: Strathcona Public Library, together with the land legally described as: Plan I, Block 79, Lots 22 to 24 inclusive and municipally located at 8331 - 104 Street in Edmonton, Alberta - 3178 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under Section 20 of the Historical Resources Act, R.S.A. 2000 C. H-9. The reasons for the designation are as follows: The heritage value of the Strathcona Public Library lies in its use as a cultural facility in the community of Old Strathcona since its completion in 1913. It is the oldest surviving public library in Edmonton and one of the oldest in the province. It is also an excellent example of one of the classical revival styles that characterized Alberta’s public buildings in the era of rapid economic growth before World War One. In 1910 the new Strathcona Library Board entered into negotiations with the Carnegie Foundation for funds to construct a public library. The Foundation, the project of American industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, funded the construction of university buildings and libraries across North America, including the first public library in Edmonton. However, the Foundation’s proffered grant totaled only $15,000 with the expectation of a small building on a standardized plan. The Strathcona Library Board – caught up in the optimistic “booster” spirit of the pre-World War One years – felt that the city’s rapid growth merited a larger library and turned down the grant. Instead, the Strathcona Public Library was built and paid for by the newly amalgamated city of Edmonton-Strathcona in 1913 at a cost of $27,000. The building thus represents an important period in the evolution of Edmonton as an urban centre. The exterior of the Strathcona Public Library retains a high degree of integrity and is a good example of early twentieth century educational buildings in western Canada. The classical elements were intended to give the building a sense of gravity and dignity suitable to a place of learning. The interior included space for an auditorium and meeting rooms as well as books, and in 1948 the basement was converted to a children’s library, making it a valuable centre for community life. It is a rare example of a library building of such size dating from Alberta’s early years as a province. In addition, the Strathcona Public Library is an important contributing element, in style and function, to one of Alberta’s significant historic urban districts, Old Strathcona. Dated this 1st day of November, A.D. 2005. Mark Rasmussen, Assistant Deputy Minister. ______________ File: Des. 2161 Notice is hereby given that sixty days from the date of service of this Notice and its publication in Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Community Development intends to make an Order that the site known as the: Greenridge Farm, together with the land legally described as: The southwest quarter of Section 23, Township 54, Range 4, Meridian 4 containing 64.7 hectares (160 acres) more or less - 3179 - THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 Excepting thereout: Hectares (Acres) More Or Less A) Plan 912 0061 Road 0.417 1.03 Excepting thereout all mines and minerals and municipally located near Dewberry, in the County of Vermilion River No. 24, Alberta be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under Section 20 of the Historical Resources Act, R.S.A. 2000 C. H-9. The reasons for the designation are as follows: The heritage value of Greenridge Farm lies in its representation of experimental ideas in progressive farming and construction from the early-mid twentieth century. A large mixed-farming operation, the site includes early examples of poured concrete buildings and a variety of other innovations from the 1920s and 1930s developed by Lee Fox Green. The use of cast-in-place concrete as an above-ground construction material was particularly unusual, but the farm was also the first in the area to have electricity and running water; the first with such specialized purpose-built structures as a pig barn, machine shop, and blacksmith’s shop; and the site of a Green invention, a light-weight construction block known as Dual block. The large horse barn housed the area’s first stock of purebred Belgian horses, while Green built up a large herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle. The site demonstrates Green’s influence as a leading agriculturalist, as a mentor to recent settlers and an employer of hired hands. Greenridge Farm acted as a social centre for the community, given the Greens’ musical interests and activity in such organizations as the United Church, United Farmers of Alberta, and the CCF.
