Historical figures such as Isaac G Baker, Agnes K Bedingfeld, and James A Lougheed in the context of business in Calgary.

Calgary's
Grand Story: The Making of a Prairie Metropolis from the Viewpoint
of Two Heritage Buildings
Calgary's Grand Story is a history of the city as told through
the story of the Grand Theatre and the Lougheed Building, two
of Calgary's most prominent historic icons. Commissioned by
Senator James Lougheed, and his wife, Belle Hardisty Lougheed,
the Lougheed building opened to the public in February of 1912
to much fanfare and great anticipation. This was a definitive
moment for Calgarians and would mark the beginning of a golden
era in the city's history. With the addition of a state-of-the-art
theatre on the ground floor beneath offices that would soon
become Calgary's premier corporate address, this building would
anchor the development of the downtown core well into the 1950s.
By mixing business and cultural history, the author sketches
a fascinating urban biography of Calgary.
