The front entrance.
Alberta's first home of the first premier, Alexander C. Rutherford. Now designated as a historical site aside of the University of Alberta and overlooks the North Saskatchewan River.
The mandate of this Rutherford House Society is to offer educational programs, exhibits and private events. A pleasant surprise while I was on the university grounds. And I thank the people that run this historical site for allowing me to take pictures.
That's a wild looking stove!
