Harmony Lane Details
In 1917, Calgary architect Rex Arlo Millar retained the five solid river stone columns that survived an earlier building that was destroyed by fire, which sat on the same two-lot space on Banff Avenue in downtown Banff, when he built Harmony Lane in the same rustic mountain style preferred for Canadian National Park buildings. Harmony Lane's historical value is also tied to Byron Harmon, an internationally noted landscape photographer and mountaineer - and founding member and official photographer of the Alpine Club of Canada - who promoted his Canadian Rockies home as a tourist destination to travelers from all around the world. Harmony Lane is still owned by the Harmon family to this day, and is listed on Canada's Historic Places and the Canadian Register.
