Boyle Street History
Boyle Street is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Edmonton, once being the official downtown area for the city, with a documented history going back to 1892.
Some of the older homes still remain, dating back to the early 1900s. A number of blocks and buildings have been designated as historic sites. The oldest of these is Gibson Block located at the intersection of Jasper Avenue and 96 Street. This building dates back to 1902.
Since the 1970s, the area has been steadily revitalized, with older buildings cleared away to make room for new development. As such, there is an interesting mix of older homes, lots, historic buildings, and new developments in this characterful area.
The area between 103 Avenue, 97 Street, and Jasper Avenue is referred to by the city as "Quarters Downtown" and targeted for a redevelopment and revitalization plan. 96th Street in particular has undergone significant changes in recent years, narrowing the roadway in favour of bike tracks, sitting areas, and trees.
