Then and Now serving Edmonton since 1894

Edmonton began as a fur trading post of the Hudson Bay Company. In 1890 they took their business outside of the fort to the streets of Edmonton. The store on the top pic was built in 1894.
As business increased the store in the middle pic opened in 1905.
The store on the bottom opened in 1939.
