Description:
Between 1874 and 1900, John Walter, an early Edmonton resident who began his career as a ferryman, built three homes. As he became more prosperous, his homes reflected his newly-acquired wealth. Located on their original site, these houses are a fascinating social and cultural commentary on the growth of Edmonton and the wealth that came with its development. On Sundays, domestic activities of the day, such as candlemaking, are demonstrated.
