This $1.6M Calgary home was built before the modern bra was invented
A home on the market in Calgary listed for a cool $1,625,000 has some serious history behind it, being built back in 1912.
We flipped through the history books and noticed that the home is older than the modern-day bra, which was invented by Mary Phelps Jacob, who received a patent for her bra in 1914. The more you know!
The home at 3219 Elbow Drive SW has three bedrooms and three bathrooms across its 1,865 square feet of living space.
