History
Additions were made to the building in 1954 and 2021. Named after the residential neighbourhood it was constructed in. In the 1880s, this area was known as "lower settlement." In 1910 real estate developers Magrath, Holgate and Company sponsored a contest to select a name for the district. The judges awarded the prize of $50 in gold to a 19 year old law clerk, S. Loughlin, who suggested the name "The Highlands," which is descriptive of its position on the banks above the North Saskatchewan River.
