"In 1906, construction began on the Calgary Normal School — Alberta’s first training school for teachers. The cornerstone was laid by Premier Alexander Rutherford in June 1907, and the building opened one year later.
It was designed in the “Renaissance Revival” architectural style by the Provincial Architect, A.M. Jeffers, who also designed the Legislature Building in Edmonton. When built, the Normal School was the largest educational building in Alberta, and cost $150,000 — a huge cost in 1908."
For more information on the building see the province's website listed below.
The fountain is drained regularly as the steps make suitable seating for events including the Premier's Stampede Breakfast, the first Monday morning of Stampede.
