The Dominion Hotel

Well as promised yesterday. Here is a shot of the whole building. The former Dominion Hotel. Located in Old Strathcona it was built by Robert McKernan in 1903. It had 33 rooms and a public parlour, dining room and beer parlour. McKernan also built the Princess Theatre and there is a neighbourhood named after him just a short distance southwest of the hotel

This looks an iconic building with the verandah and the columns. Glad they are using it. Getting the sun at this time too!
