Tegler Building, Historic skyscraper in downtown Edmonton, Canada
The Tegler Building was a tall structure made of glass and steel, standing at the corner of 102 Avenue and 101 Street in Edmonton. Its many floors provided space for offices and commercial operations that shaped the center of the city.
The building was completed in 1912 and was the largest structure in western Canada at that time. It stood for about 70 years before being demolished by controlled implosion in 1982.
The building was long a symbol of Edmonton's business district and drew companies and workers from across the region. Its presence shaped how people thought about the downtown core as a place of work and commerce.
The original building no longer exists today, but the location is easy to reach since it was in downtown Edmonton. Visitors can now only see the spot where it once stood or learn more about its legacy in other places around the city.
After demolition, bricks from the original building were reused to construct Tegler Manor. This new building also displays a mural by Ernest Huber depicting early scenes from Alberta.
