Alberta Wheat Pool Agent's House

Since the late 1920s, the property south of the hotel was owned by the Kirstien family from North Kleskun. Here, they built garage, livery stable, and entertainment hall. In 1950, they sold the property to Carroll Leonard who owned the largest store in town on the corner of Main Street and 100 Ave., just across from the station, where he lived with his wife, Agnes, and their two daughters, Norma and Beverly. In 1951, he built this dwelling and moved in with his family, but sold it to the Alberta Wheat Pool in 1954, where it would serve as a home for its agents for the Pool elevator #2, north of the existing elevator #1. The first agent to occupy this house was Everett Anderson, to be followed by Danny Rycroft and family in 1960.
