On October 19, join Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP) for a free public walking tour of Spruce Avenue’s Garden Court apartments, designed in the 1950s by Edmonton architects Mary Imrie and Jean Wallbridge. These two trailblazing women started Edmonton’s first all-female architectural partnership – and were romantic partners too.

We’ll learn why they added brick fins onto the patios, big shared green spaces out back, and other little features in these two-story homes. This tour will be led by local architect Greg Whistance-Smith, contributor to a new book about Imrie and Wallbridge.

After the tour, join us for free coffee at Guuto Mothers Cafeteria and snacks and learn about a new exhibit on Imrie and Wallbridge at MacEwan University’s Mitchell Art Gallery.
