About the Alberta Legislature Building
Both the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and its Executive Council meet in the Alberta Legislature Building in Edmonton, a building often shortened to "the Ledge". Its address is 10801 97 Avenue NW. It sits on a promontory above the North Saskatchewan River valley, near where Fort Edmonton, Mark V, a fur-trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, once stood.
Construction started in August 1907, and the Beaux Arts style building was finished by 1913. Allan Merrick Jeffers and Richard Blakey were its architects, and Percy Nobbs, an architect from Montreal, assisted on the last revisions. Alberta's first Premier, Alexander Cameron Rutherford, laid the cornerstone with Governor General Albert Grey on October 1, 1909. Legislators held their first session there on November 30, 1911, and it officially opened on September 3, 1912.
The building rests on concrete piles around a steel skeleton. Granite from Vancouver Island faces the first floor, while the upper floors feature Calgary sandstone from the Glenbow Quarry. The dome has terracotta made in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England. The building is about 57 meters (187 ft) tall, and it cost more than $2 million at the time.
