The Macnab Wing of the Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary, Alberta, stands as a Classical Revival-style structure built in 1928-29. It is an integral part of the historic Holy Cross Hospital, the second oldest medical facility in Calgary, known for its leadership in various medical fields and services to southern Alberta until its closure in 1996.
Symbolically significant within the community, the Macnab Wing is a key reminder of the Roman Catholic origins of the Mission area. Architecturally, the building showcases Classical Revival style with multi-coloured tapestry brick, cast-stone detailing, and iconic features like Ionic columns, a rooftop garden, and a Roman-style chapel, all designed by renowned Calgary architect W.S. Bates.
The Macnab Wing of the Holy Cross Hospital is not just a building but a landmark in the community, with character-defining elements that include its unique architecture, reinforced concrete and brick construction, and historical significance as a part of Calgary's healthcare heritage.
