History

In 1891, the Lougheed family constructed their majestic residence in a sweep of open prairie southwest of the developing downtown core of Calgary. The new home - christened with the regal name "Beaulieu" or "Beautiful Place" - was a powerful symbol of the Lougheed's growing prestige and influence. By the early 1900s, the 2.8-acre estate included the residence, carriage house and stable, as well as a formal garden with swan sculpture fountain.

Sir James and Lady Isabella Lougheed also entertained royal guests at Beaulieu, including the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and their daughter, Princess Patricia, as well as the Duke of Windsor (when he was Prince of Wales). Beaulieu remains one of the finest and last remaining sandstone residences in Alberta.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
