About Boyle Street
Where to stay in Boyle Street
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Downtown is one block away. Beds near Jasper Avenue put the Art Gallery of Alberta and the Royal Alberta Museum within a walk of a few minutes, which suits anyone building a trip around galleries rather than around a car. Further along 103A Avenue the streets turn residential and quieter, past the Trudel Residence and the Hunter Residence.
About Boyle Street
What are the main landmarks in Boyle Street?
Boyle Street packs its museums close together. The Art Gallery of Alberta and the Royal Alberta Museum stand within the neighbourhood, and the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta adds a third holding to a district barely a square kilometre across. Churches supply the rest.
St. Josaphat Cathedral, Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples and McDougall United Church each keep a congregation, while the Neon Sign Museum puts old shopfront signs on public view.
What is the history of Boyle Street?
Brick gave one house its name. The J.B. Little Brickyard House sits on the district's heritage register beside Sheriff Robertson House, the Richard Wallace Residence, the William Paskins Residence and the Carter Residence, a set of early homes standing just east of the downtown core.
Churches came onto the register too. McDougall United Church and St. Josaphat Cathedral both stand inside the boundary that runs from Grierson Hill along Rowland Road to Alex Taylor Road.
Where is Boyle Street?
The neighbourhood runs from 97 Street across to 82 Street, with Jasper Avenue and 103A Avenue cutting through and the LRT tracks closing it off to the north.
