William T. Ogden House, Registered historic house in Stirling, Canada
The William T. Ogden House is a Neo-Classical Georgian mansion set on 3 acres in Stirling, Alberta, with walls roughly 1 foot (30 cm) thick. The spacious rooms feature high ceilings and were equipped with modern conveniences like piped water from a cistern and electrical systems.
The mansion was built between 1910 and 1919 and featured advanced technology for its time, including battery-powered electricity and central coal heating. It represented a considerable investment in modern comfort in a rural setting.
The house served as a community gathering place and hosted dances, lodging, and temporary schooling after a local school fire. This varied use shows how central the building became to Stirling's social life.
The property opens to visitors on special occasions and times throughout the year. It is advisable to check ahead to confirm visiting availability and what is accessible.
The house transforms each Halloween into Southern Alberta's largest haunted house attraction, while December celebrations feature Santa Claus themed decorations and events. These seasonal transformations give the historic property a contemporary cultural role.
