Burns Manor, Manor house in Beltline District, Calgary, Canada

The three-story Burns Manor featured a sandstone exterior with steeply pitched gables and intricate stone carvings, including decorative gargoyles and coats of arms.

Construction of Burns Manor began in July 1900 and concluded in January 1903, with architect Francis Rattenbury designing it for businessman Patrick Burns at a cost of $35,000.

The mansion contained eighteen rooms adorned with eastern hardwoods and English furnishings, reflecting the wealthy lifestyle of early 20th-century Canadian business leaders.

The property at 510 13th Avenue Southwest remained a private residence until 1939, when it transformed into a boarding house and later served as a veterans' convalescent home.

The manor's demolition in 1956 led local residents to salvage materials, including oak mantles and tiles, preserving pieces of its architectural heritage.
