There will definitely be some modern design elements, but the choice of exterior should include some traditional materials reflecting the history the neighbourhood (one of the city's oldest). Red brick/sandstone with Victorian-era flourishes.
I hope the urge to go overboard with cowboy/western motifs are avoided. It's technically not on Stampede grounds.
