Living in Glenora.
Glenora is one of Edmonton's older neighbourhoods. It is part of land Malcolm Groat claimed in 1869, just west of the old Hudson's Bay Reserve.
In 1906 Montreal realtor James Carruthers bought the land and planned it as an exclusive estate area, with a rule that no house could cost less than $3,500. When Edmonton became Alberta's capital that year, many professionals chose to settle here.
Many original homes from that era still stand, beside homes rebuilt over the decades, which makes Glenora a snapshot of a century of Edmonton houses. Government House, built in 1909 as the lieutenant-governor's residence, overlooks the river valley here.
Alexander Circle Park sits at the centre of a circular street pattern, an early 1900s "garden suburb" design. One theory says the name joins the Scottish "glen" (valley) and the French "or" (gold), because Glenora's three ravines lead down to a river where you can still pan for gold.
