Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth is a beautiful mature neighborhood with royal connections beginning with the neighborhood and first public school naming. It has gone through a full lifestyle of a residential community, and is in the process of beginning again.

Queen Elizabeth neighborhood has northern and southern perimeters of Taylor Street and Ruth Street respectively. Clarence Avenue is to the east and Melrose Avenue is to the west. From Taylor progressing southerly, are Maple Street, Isabella, Willow, Hilliard, Elm, Adelaide, Ash and then Ruth Sreet. The Avenues from Clarence Avenue are Albert, York, Lansdowne, Hanover, Dufferin, William, Broadway, Eastlake, Victoria, and Melrose Avenue.

The majority of homes were built during and just after World War II, from about 1946 to 1960. Some revitalization occurs in the area when older homes are purchased, then demolished in favour of newer infill housing. The population for the most part is elderly retired folk.

Gladmer Park was affordable row housing built in the 1950s, constructed by Limited Dividend Housing Projects and financed by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The Queen Elizabeth Community Association serves Queen Elizabth community residents as well as residents of the western edge of the Haultain community at Queen Elizabeth School, W. W. Ashley and Weaver Parks.^[2]

The Two Sisters: These two houses were originally part of three sisters which were seen on the bare prairie before the Queen Elizabeth neighborhood developed.

Near the turn of the 20th century, ambitious developers built three stately homes on this location, anticipating that Saskatoon would soon expand this far. The developers underestimated the demand, and Saskatoon ultimate did not begin to develop this land until some 50 years later. During this time, the three homes became landmarks for travellers passing through this area, and were known as the "Three Sisters". Only two of the three original homes remain; one was demolished to make way for the firehall to the north. The remaining two are considered historic properties.
