Former Lacombe mayor’s home designated as Municipal Historic Resource
The former home of a prominent historical figure in Lacombe is now designated a Municipal Historic Resource.
City council passed a bylaw recently which officially designates the building known as the Trimble Residence (5228 53 Street) as a Municipal Historic Resource under the Province of Alberta Historical Resources Act.
“The Trimble Residence is of significant historical importance for our community,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “This designation ensures the building will remain protected in our community for years to come. I want to thank the current owner of Trimble Residence building and the Heritage Resources Committee (HRC) for their diligent work towards preserving the legacy of this building.”
The Trimble Residence, built in 1901, is located on a large double lot northwest of downtown Lacombe. It is one of Lacombe’s early grand estates and has been deemed significant for its association with the home’s first owner, H.M. Trimble – an early pioneer, lawyer, and former Mayor of Lacombe in 1908.
