Tanglewood Details
Originally built a in 1886 by Fred Woodworth at Siding 29, the original Banff townsite, the building was moved to its present location on Beaver Street sometime between 1888 and 1892 when it was used as the Banff Post Office. In 1909, Norman and Georgina Luxton bought the building as a rental property, adding to their footprint on the 200 block of Beaver Street, sometimes referred to as the Luxton Estate. Tanglewood is listed on Canada's Historic Places and the Canadian Register.
