The Barron Building is an eleven-storey office tower located at 610 8th Avenue Southwest in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Designed by architect Jack Cawston and built between 1949 and 1951, it is one of Canada's foremost examples of Art Moderne-style architecture.
The few preceding examples of modernism in the city include the Utilities Building at 115 6th Avenue Southwest (1939), the Alberta Government Telephones Building at 119 6th Avenue South West (1929), the Dmitri Skaken House at 1131 Colborne Crescent South West (1947), and the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant at 5300 19th Street Southwest (1933).
In April 2014, Alberta Culture moved to declare the building a provincial historic resource, which would disallow alteration to the exterior.
In July 2014, however, after protests from the owner, the province rejected the proposal for protection, thus allowing future redevelopment.
