So today l went for a photo walk in the Oliver Neighbourhood. It is named a prominent Edmontonian, Frank Oliver. Politician, businessman and newspaper editor
This set of photos shows the McDougall Mansion built by John A. McDougall. After being in the family for many decades it was sold and became an orphanage. My friends father lived in this home for a number of years.
The bottom shot is the building that is there today
What a beautiful building they tore down to build the new one. I also prefer the old one. Let's hope it was beyond saving Saving when it was torn down.
But, nice to see the before and after.
