Kipling Square was constructed in 1914 for the Simington Company and updated in 1945 to serve as a retail location for Western Grocers. The utilitarian design of the building was offset by the dramatic cut stone doorways and flat-arched window heads which brought a liveliness to the building. Between 1979 and 1980, Kipling Square was renovated by Paul Tarjan & Associates, one of Calgary’s architectural firms that sparked the trend for refurbishing Calgary’s warehouse district. Tarjan & Associates added the Annex to the building which not only increased the usable space, but offered a unique glasswalled feature that added an unexpected and elevated design to Kipling Square. Today, Kipling Square/ Annex’s unparalleled design features offer suites with a strong sense of unique character.
