Walterdale Play House

So today we ran some errands after work and we just got home. So today I am using a filler from our vacation last month.
This is the Walterdale Play House in Old Strathcona. It was originally the No. ! Fire House in the town of Strathcona When Strahcona amalgamated with the City of Edmonton in 1912 it became Fire House No. 6. Eventually a new Fire Hall was built. Fortunately some folks came up with the idea of turning it into a theatre and low and behold it got a new lease on life.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
