We acknowledge that the land on which Edmonton is built is Treaty Six Territory. We thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. It is important that we not only recognize our shared histories, but also each other's contributions to establishing the built heritage of Edmonton and Area.

About

This 1946 house shows its Art Moderne design through flat walls, asymmetrical façade, and flat roof. Horizontal planes are emphasized with the coping at the roof line and the cantilevered porch roof. Typical of modern structures, the house features glass block as well as corner windows. The house is clad in stucco, and a geometric pattern was scored into the parging over the foundation – a detail more commonly associated with Art Deco buildings. The home was built for local architectural engineer Harry Frost. The Frosts only lived in the house until 1949.
