Lougheed House, National historic mansion in Beltline district, Calgary, Canada

The sandstone mansion spans 14,000 square feet across a 2.8-acre estate, featuring 48 rooms decorated with Spanish mahogany and Italian marble finishes.

Senator James Alexander Lougheed and Lady Isabella Clark Lougheed constructed this residence in 1891, which became a central meeting point for Calgary's social events.

The mansion walls display hand-painted illustrations of Alberta's native plants and animals, representing the natural heritage of the Canadian Prairies.

The house opens for guided tours, exhibits, educational programs, and community events throughout the year, with dedicated parking spaces for visitors.

During World War II, the residence transformed into barracks for the Canadian Women's Army Corps and later served as a Red Cross blood donor clinic.
