Old Building






I love old buildings. They are full of character. I hope they are preserved under Historic Trust. It would be such a shame if they were left to go to ruin.

This building at the corner of Dominion and Calgary Roads, has a new coat of paint, and has tenants. It looks very well maintained. It not only has an ornate frontal facade, the sides has a beautiful door and windows as well.

It has a name Cheapside , and the building next to it is also called Cheapside. I wonder who or what is Cheapside? Would you know?

Older buildings have a grace and elegance that is lacking today.

I enjoyed your photos.

Thanks Barry,

I enjoyed reading your stories, especially War Brides. My mum was a war bride.

Cheers,
