Building A Legacy by bkbinthecity

Building A Legacy

I have taken on a project photographing Edmonton's historical buildings.
These three houses were built by Edmonton's first "millionaire".
John Walter settled on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River.
He built a cable Ferry System and established Edmonton's largest sawmill.
These are houses he built over the years.
Starting left to right. House 1 was built in 1875.
House 2 was built in 1886 and House 3 was built in 1901
Beautiful collage

Nice collage. House 1 & 2 look very similar.

Nice houses, but I think I prefer the top right, it has more windows, I think the others would be a bit dark. Good project idea, looking forward to the others.

When you hear the word "millionaire" I don't think you imagine homes like these- but it sounds like he was a very pragmatic man. Something big and hard to maintain was not his style. Great start to an interesting project!

How interesting and a great collage! This is a great project you have taken on, Brian!
