Since 1894

Hi folks I am back. I missed yesterday as a result of some computor problems. I mnaged to fix them today so this is my Monday photo. The Hudson Bay Company established a fur trading post here in Edmonton in the mid around 1876 When Edmonton started to develop into a town and then a city they established a retail store on this site in 1894.
For 100 years they served Edmontonians from this location. In 1994 they moved into Edmonton Centre across from City Hall. Today they are in the City Cnetre West Mall and still serving Edmontonians. This was there third building that they had built on this location.
Today it is home to a television station, a radio station and a department of the University of Alberta.

@claireuk This building was built in 1938-39 and is catogorized as Moderne Style. They used Tyndale Limestone and Black Granite in the construction

[Diane]

This is a neat building, and I like your POV. I wondered what style it is, and you answered that question in your reply to @claireuk!
