BAck to Fort Edmonton. One of the things that I love so much about this park is that some of the buildings located inside the park are the original buildings that once sat on Jasper Avenue. Such is the case with the Edmonton Bulletin Building.
This building was built in 1878 and sat on the south side of Jasper Avenue between 99 and 100 streets. Frank Oliver used the building at first as a general store and his quarters upstairs. By 1880 it became home to Edmonton's first newspaper. The first edition came off the presses on Dec. 6 1880.
Here Melody was waiting outside while she was having some special copies made inside on an actual working press
have they recreated some of the history in the park? we've got similar ideas here at Blists Hill in Ironbridge - which is set up as a Victorian working town, and has things like this
So great for the younger generation to be able to see what it was like in the late 1800 and that they do the work the old fashioned way. interesting picture.
