Division No. 8 Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The Lacombe Flatiron Building was constructed in 1903-1904 by the Merchants Bank. Designed in the Beaux Arts tradition of classically-inspired architecture, it cost $30,000 to build in 1904. The design, however, set this structure apart; specific classical features includes the giant order pilasters or simulated columns which run through the second and third stories, a cornice along the top of the structure and scallop-shaped hood over the main entrance. The three-storey "flatiron" building is unique in the Town of Lacombe and the oldest of three structures built in western Canada. (July 2019)

Garbage containers are everywhere, and especially in backlanes and alleys where there are lovely murals. How about this idea in Lacombe, Alberta, to have the containers painted as well. Due to a major fire that ravished the flatiron block of the town in 1906, newly constructed buildings had to be of brick. (July 2019)

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast satisfactory. The pool facilities disappointed (steam and dry sauna out of order, no jets in the hot (warm) tub).

Great Location and Great Interior - curb appeal needs some work for sure, but once you’re inside, all your doubts go away. There is a spiral staircase leading up to the 2nd or loft room, but only young nimble adults should attempt that - and certainly not children or people with less than perfect ...
