WHAT’S OLD

Built in 1906 on the Fort Calgary site, Deane House was moved across the Elbow River to its current location in 1929.

Pulled across by steam-tractor on temporary pilings, the move was such an astonishing feat of engineering that it was made famous in Popular Mechanics magazine.

91 years on, we're proud to be a part of its storied heritage. We're excited to welcome you to the next chapter after yet another restoration, though this time it's culinary fame we're seeking.
