Building A Legacy 2

Here is another picture from my project of photographing Edmonton's historical buildings.
This is Loyal Orange Hall #1654.
It is tucked away in a section of Old Strathcona on Edmonton's Southside.
Built in 1903 it is one of Alberta's oldest public assembly buildings and it sits on the original location where it was built
It was built by members of the Loyal Orange Lodge. A partisan group supporting the cause of Protestantism in England.
Today it is used by the general public for musical and dramatic events as well as craft sales

Neat building! Thanks for the history as well. And looks like the snow is melting!

[Diana]

Such a lovely building and interesting info.

[Boxplayer]

How fascinating. You don't hear much about the Orange order in England - really only in the context of Northern Ireland where it is still divisive.

[Wylie]

cute hall, didn't know the Orange people were big over your way.

[Christina]

Cute building

Super interesting to read - thank you
It’s great it’s still being used.

[Renee Salamon]

Really interesting, really appreciate reading the history

[Pat Knowles]

It looks nice edged in orange…I am quite amazed that the good folk of Edmonton would be concerned with the religious activities in the UK….not surprised that it’s now put to better use as a hall for lovely local activities. Interesting reading.
