So continuing looking through some old photos I came across this one. This is in the Rossdale neighbourhood in Edmonton. The building is an old brewery that was built back in 1898. It served that purpose until business became so busy for the owner he needed to expand. Instead of expanding at this location he chose to build a completely new building in a new location. This building over the years has seen a number of tenants and is the oldest unaltered industrial building in the province. Currently it is sitting vacant and the new owner is considering turning this into a B & B which I think would be a neat idea.
I had some fun with this one as I usually do not edit my photos but decided to try giving this a bit of a vintage look to it
The processing is great for this shot. I don't know if I've ever heard of someone turning an industrial building in to a B & B, but that is a very intriguing idea!
This history is really interesting. You did a great job making this photograph look vintage--it reminds me of some shots in the old family album my parents have.
@olivetreeann The owner of the building has created some rather unique buildings in our city some of which I have featured on my project. He designed our current city hall with its pyramids and the old Alberta Hotel
It worked very well...and I like it! Glad you and Candace have become FB friends. She and I live in the same town and became friends through a local photo club!
@bkbinthecity You make me feel old. lol Actually most of my B&W photos are from my Mom. I have so many paper photos but want to get to the old ones first so I can ask my Mom about them. Have fun with your Mom's photos. It is nice to do this while they are with us so they can explain them to us if we do not know the people or places.
