Where to stay in Strathcona
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Strathcona's case for a stay is what stands on its streets: Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Knox (Presbyterian) Church and a run of listed houses a visitor can walk between in an afternoon. Edmonton holds the rest. A room here puts the heritage blocks at the door. Anyone wanting the full range of Alberta's city will still book across Edmonton and travel in, since nothing in the record sets out a lodging stock for the district itself.

About Strathcona
What are the main landmarks in Strathcona?
Strathcona's heritage roll is crowded. Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Knox (Presbyterian) Church anchor it, and behind them comes a roll of listed houses: the Molstad Residence, the Thomas Scott Residence, the Roy Gerolamy Residence and the William Lowes Residence among them. Mill Creek House sits on the same register.
More than a dozen such addresses are listed inside Strathcona, so the district's heritage is domestic rather than monumental, a matter of front doors instead of civic set pieces.
What is the history of Strathcona?
Names do the work here. The register that survives for Strathcona is a register of houses, each carrying a personal name: the Abram Residence, the Bugis Residence, the McKenzie Residence, the John Thomas Radford House and the William Lowes Residence. Not one of those house names fixes a founding year.
What that leaves is a district whose past reaches the record through addresses rather than through any charter, with Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Knox (Presbyterian) Church standing as the public buildings on the same list.
Where is Strathcona?
Strathcona covers a small patch of Edmonton in Alberta, its ground given to residential streets and the two churches standing among them.
