St Mary's Hall

St. Mary's Parish Hall, located in Calgary's Mission district, is a historically significant structure originally built in 1905 as a community hub for the French Catholic population in southern Alberta. This three-storey sandstone building, notable for its neoclassical architectural features, has served various purposes over the years, including functioning as a train station after its sale to the Canadian Northern Railway in 1911.

The hall's design, characterized by a gambrel roof and unique sandstone facade, reflects its dual heritage as both a cultural center and a transportation facility. Following a fire in 1985, the building underwent sensitive restoration, preserving its historical integrity while continuing to be a landmark of community significance.
