Calgary - Stephen Avenue

Stephen Avenue, Calgary's main shopping street, is a pedestrian zone between 1st. St. S. E. and 4th St. S. W. Here still stand a large number of old buildings built in a variety of styles from local sandstone. In the former Imperial Bank of Canada at 102-8th Ave. the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation has its headquarters; this foundation is dedicated to preserving the history and monuments of the province of Alberta.

Stephen Avenue is a nice place to spend a few hours shopping or have lunch.
