1886 Buffalo Cafe – Permanently Closed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You’ll find 1886 Buffalo Cafe downtown, just beside Eau Claire Market<\/a>. This unassuming little building that has been there for well over 100 years, starting out as a Eau Claire and Bow River Lumber Company<\/a> property founded by Peter Anthony Prince<\/a>, whom Prince’s Island Park is named after. Peter Prince has quite a lot of ties to Calgary history, owning the first gas powered vehicle, he started the Calgary Water Power Company (which later became TransAlta Utilities<\/a>) and he was the first person to string up electricity poles to provide people with power. He even owned a ranch in Brooks called Prince-Kerr Ranch. Peter was up to all kinds of stuff. 1886 Buffalo Cafe hasn’t really changed much since those days, they still have mostly the same interior, even the same floorboards. The basement, in addition to being where the bathrooms are, has also been converted into a mini local history museum<\/a>. Lastly, 1886 Buffalo Cafe, being such a vintage building, is not wheelchair friendly.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/span> 1886 Buffalo Cafe permanently closed in 2020 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Today they serve up some really good breakfasty\/brunchy<\/a> food.<\/p>\n
