Architects Jean Wallbridge and Mary Imrie were pivotal contributors to Edmonton's architectural heritage in the postwar era: innovative builders of modest, client-focused homes, and context-sensitive commercial buildings. Trailblazing queer women in a profession and era composed of few people who shared those characteristics, Wallbridge and Imrie were world-travelling thinkers who combined modern possibilities with a sensitivity to regional needs, craft, and culture. Richly illustrated with drawings from the Provincial Archives of Alberta and colour images, this book brings to life the story and impact of these remarkable creators.
