George A. Turner Residence (1912)
3210 6 ST SW, Elbow Park

Evaluated as a Community Historic Resource (CHR)

The George A. Turner Residence, built in 1912, represents the early development of Elbow Park—one of Calgary's earliest planned suburbs—during its first wave of building from c.1911 to WWI. The house continues to contribute to a streetscape of similar-sized houses in compatible styles, many dating from the same historical era. (Symbolic Value, Community-wide Significance)

The residence exemplifies the housing constructed by speculative builders in Elbow Park to serve the Calgary's burgeoning middle class during the city's pre–World War I population boom. It is a good representative of the substantial homes built in the neighbourhood for upper-middle-class residents. (Symbolic Value, Community-wide Significance)

The building provides a good, representative example of a Craftsman house, one of the styles common in the early development of the community. (Style Value, Community-wide Significance)
