Via Chris Dulaba on C2E:

This is one of the few remaining 'boom town' buildings left on Whyte. The Province has designated this building so it's not going anywhere. Our plan for the site involves lifting the building off of its existing foundation, building a new basement and then adding a two-storey addition near the rear of the site. Although we're still in the feasibility stage we're very excited about the plan - think small retail spaces, second floor restaurant(s) and rooftop patios.

Our current plan incorporates that tree [in the rear parking lot]. We are hoping that it can survive our planned redevelopment.

Council votes to protect Whyte Avenue landmark

July 11, 2017

With a tip of their hat, City Council has designated 'Tipton Investment Company Building' as a Municipal Historic Resource. The building, located at 10428 - 82 Avenue, is one of the more iconic buildings along Whyte Ave.

Constructed circa 1907, the 'Tipton Investment Company Building' is a rare and well-preserved example of the Boomtown Style architecture, which typified development in Alberta’s commercial cores in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is one of only two Boomtown Style buildings continuing to stand in the Old Strathcona Provincial Historic Area and is an important part of the area's character and streetscape.

The building is named for J.G.Tipton, a prominent business man and municipal politician of the time, who operated his real-estate office in the building.

Principal Heritage Planner, Scott Ashe said “The Tipton Investment Company Building is important to understanding the early development of Old Strathcona. Its preservation is a unique opportunity to connect Edmontonians with the City’s past.”

The City's Historic Resource Management Plan outlines the City's mission to identify, protect and promote the preservation and use of historic resources. The Plan contains 24 policies and 88 action items that direct how Edmonton's heritage should be preserved and celebrated.

That is pretty cool to see! I remember my uncle putting a basement in his Cabin, but they moved the entire thing off its spot to do it... mainly because they had the room.

Looks to be complete; Cacao 70 is open. Doesn't look like any tenants have been found for the alley unit yet.

Boomtown heritage building ready for new life
November 21, 2018

The rehabilitation of the Tipton Investment Company is now complete! Designated a Provincialand Municipal Historic Resource, the building is located within the Old Strathcona Provincial Historic Area along Whyte Avenue in Edmonton. It was constructed in the early days of the 1900s and survives as one of the last wood “boom town” style commercial structures in the district.



The current owners, with the assistance from their consultants, contractors, and provincial and municipal heritage regulators, have successfully preserved the heritage values of the modest single-story structure while expertly incorporating an addition. The rehabilitation not only changes the property to a creative two-story multi-tenant complex, but does so while honouring the wood building as the primary heritage value on the lot. Now that’s how it’s done!

The rehabilitation of the Tipton Investment Company is a shining example of how to keep what is of value, provide upgrades to services and increase the marketable floor spaces with an addition that fits. Getting the addition finished right is a complex architectural challenge and the design team for this project did just that.

Amen to that!

 

[Daveography]

From last week - the laneway is open!

 

[Moderne]

Absolutely gorgeous. I hope they are able to quickly lease the alley unit and it flourishes, as I know it was a big risk for them. Beljan is doing incredible things in the city at the moment, we're lucky to have a firm with such vision here.

And excellent work, @Daveography, on the picture-taking machine to capture it all.
