Ring House 2, 1931

Architect Cecil Burgess was responsible for much of the design of the ten Ring Houses. He won recognition for his work, which showed a variety of architectural styles. The charming houses were typical of the different kinds of architecture common in Edmonton at that time. Over the years, the porches were enclosed for office space.

history

The “Ring Houses,” four brick buildings located on the northwest corner of campus, have a long and diverse history of use. In the early years of the University, these homes were built to provide housing for some of the University’s first faculty and staff. They have also been offices, dormitories, music studios and research facilities.
