1914 – Fairmont Palliser Hotel, Calgary, Canada

Named after Captain John Palliser, who was an explorer in the region during the 1850s. Designed by Lawrence Gotch (1882-1964), of E. and W.S. Maxwell of Montreal, who had worked for CPR on the Royal Alexandra Hotel in Winnipeg. Designed in the Chicago style, it was eight stories in height at completion. Four additional floors were added in 1929 to keep pace with the growing city making it the tallest building in Calgary, a title it retained until 1958.
