Walking Into The Past.... Listening To Some Great Music

Just outside of Kelly's Saloon these two gentlemen were providing some great music.
This is a replica of the saloon that once sat on Jasper Avenue.
The original was opened by Luke Kelly on August 24, 1883. Three years later it became the Alberta Hotel. In 1892 Kelly leased the hotel to Frank Mariaggi. In 1895 Mariaggi bought the hotel. In 1903 he tore it down and built a new hotel on the same site.
Tomorrow l will post a picture of the new Alberta Hotel
