WHAT SORT OF ARCHITECTURE CAN I EXPECT? The values, neighborliness and sense of community that abounds in Boulder Creek isn't just marketing hype for the website. You'll see it reflected in the homes themselves. In addition to being bigger than average city houses, they share an architectural theme that celebrates the values and openness of the original Langdon settlers. Expansive front porches, decorative woodwork, dormer windows and open gable ends all conspire to be as welcoming and pleasing to the eye on the outside as they are light and airy for the those who live within. The official term for this style of architecture is "Craftsman" or "Arts & Crafts" and it borrows extensively from pioneer life on the open prairie. It's as familiar as it is inviting, which is hardly surprising, since it has been present on the Alberta landscape for more than a century. It's more than just architecture; it's the inspiration that helps preserve the values of the past for tomorrow.
