Ede Building
Calgary magistrate Thomas Ede moved to Blairmore in 1906 and practiced law here for over forty years. In 1909 Ede built a one-story building here for his law office and an adjacent retail space. His tenant in 1912 was the newly-arrived Royal Bank of Canada. later that year the Ede building was damaged in the fire that originated in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Repairs included the addition of a fireproof wall at its west edge. Later tenants included a cigar store, a men's shoe store, Gallay's Men's Wear around 1925, Hyslop's Ladies' Wear in 1928 and the Model Bakery in the 1940s.

Renovations and reconstruction over the years have left very little of the original building.
