Since 1896

The Hudson's Bay Company started serving the people of Edmonton from this location in 1896. Although they did vacate this building a number of years ago it is now used by the University of Alberta as a downtown campus. One of the nice feature on this building are some stone etchings on the sides. Later this week l will feature them
