Kelly Ramsey Building, Office building in Downtown Edmonton, Canada
The Kelly Ramsey Building was a four-story office structure in downtown Edmonton featuring dark brick facades and stone trim in the Chicago School style. It stood at the corner of Rice Howard Way and housed commercial office spaces for local businesses.
The structure was built in 1927 and remained an established part of Edmonton's business district for decades. After a fire in 2009 damaged it, the building was demolished in 2013 to make room for new development.
The building served as a focal point for the business community and reflected the architectural language that shaped Edmonton's early commercial identity. Its practical design showed how the city built its economy and character during that era.
The building occupied a prime location in the central business district and was easily accessible from the main street network. Its position at a major intersection made it a notable landmark in the downtown area.
After the 2009 fire, the original brick facades were carefully salvaged and reincorporated into the new Enbridge Centre building completed in 2016. This approach preserved a piece of the site's architectural heritage even as the original structure was replaced.
