Welcome to your beginning. To step into
Lougheed House is to step into a legacy of
diverse and vibrant celebrations. Our
beautifully restored Victorian house nestled
within the lush gardens provides the unique
and intimate setting to help curate your own
memorable moments.
Centrally located in the heart of
downtown Calgary and built in 1891 by
Senator James Alexander & Lady Isabella
Lougheed, this stunning 2.8-acre estate is a
National and Provincial Historical Site and
Museum. We invite you to begin your legacy in
our venue, ideal for your timeless love story.
From 1891—1936, the House and
Gardens were home to Senator James
Alexander and Lady Isabella Hardisty
Lougheed and their six children. They were
among Calgary’s most influential citizens.
Their home was a renowned social hub where
they welcomed princesses, princes, and stars
of stage and screen.
Today, your individually tailored, elegant

memories for you and your guests. Our
friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff
