Whyte Avenue Strathcona 1910

This archival photograph captures Whyte Avenue in 1910, just as electric streetcars were beginning to transform the pace of life in Strathcona. Wide dirt roads stretch toward the Canadian Pacific station, while pedestrians in their finest coats navigate a bustling but still developing commercial district. A few years later, this once-separate city would join Edmonton in a historic amalgamation, but here, Strathcona stands proudly on its own, growing fast and full of promise.

This print offers a timeless look at the early character of Whyte Avenue, a street that continues to shape community, culture, and connection more than a century later.
