The McLeod is one of downtown Edmonton’s most significant historic commercial buildings and is listed on the “A” Register of Historic Resources by the City of Edmonton.
Completed in the early 20th century, the nine-storey brick and terra-cotta structure was developed as a premier office building in the heart of Edmonton’s emerging commercial core. Its Chicago School design, refined exterior detailing, and prominent downtown presence reflect the architectural ambition and economic confidence of the Edwardian era.
The building has undergone extensive restoration, with original architectural features carefully preserved while accommodating contemporary residential and commercial uses. Today, the McLeod Building continues to serve as a landmark downtown property, offering enduring architectural character and long-term urban relevance.
The McLeod Building is widely regarded as the most outstanding example of Chicago School architecture in Edmonton and stands as a leading example of the style in Western Canada.
