The house, of course, still stands, and is the home of Michael Tillotson, youngest son of Reginald and Margaret.
It did not incorporate Tillotson Construction's signature rounded headhouse!
As a grandchild who spent a lot of time there, I always though it was remarkable because of the use of glass blocks as a design feature. The entire second floor was reserved as a music and game area. And despite the single garage door, there was a second "lane" to the right when you drove in.
But Uncle Mike always had it blocked with his relics.

The elevator builders made a good living for their day. It was a pretty nice house.
While traveling around the Alberta countryside I saw some gorgeous wood elevators not too far from your neighborhood, in some very picturesque places. What a great heritage you have–many old elevators have disappeared, but it's good to see some of them still standing. They are pretty majestic sitting out in the middle of the Canadian prairie.
Cheers, and welcome to our site!
