The Rocky Mountain Tours and Transport Building. This unique building originally served as the office and garage for Rocky Mountain Tours. The tour company was formed in the 1920's by James McLeod. The tour company was later operated by James' son Allan McLeod and his sons-in-law Robert Bray and Hal Waterhouse (22 Otter Street) who built this building in 1946. The partners sought to capitalize upon tourist industry growth after World War II. Designed by prominent Calgary architect J.Stevenson, the quaint Rundle rock facade features a multi-pane window, large concrete capstones and stone parapet detaiing. A second storey was added to the structure in 1955 and a restaurant was opened in 1968. Upon closer examination the building's original garage door opening remains visible behind the canopy of the Grizzly House restaurant. This local landmark is a good example of the adaptive reuse and preservation of an historic building.
