Old and New

I saw today's word was Old and New I knew I could come up with something. This is the same location. The house on the left was built in 1914.It had a few different families over the years.
It was torn down in 1968 by the University of Alberta for them to make room for the Law Building

I suppose it was a valuable site, but I know which I would prefer to look at! Well researched, Brian!

[Tony]

Nice capture Brian but the newer building doesn't grace the site like the older one did.

[Sian B]

What a contrast!

[Anita Campbell]

Personally,, I like the style of the old house. The law library? Too modern architecturally by comparison. Definitely a difference in style and definitely an old and new contrast.

[John]

Cool contrast

[mervyn hobbs]

Yes I agree I also like the style of the house.

[Candace]

Ah...progress! Great contrast though!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Great collage for the title theme, well done.

[Claire]

What a grand building; shame it has been replaced. Is that a door on the top left? I wonder if it went out onto a veranda; great find Brian

[Kerri]

Great shots

[Kd Wallis]

That house is stunning!!! Great photos!

[Sheila]

Nice contrast between the two styles!!

[KWind]

Too bad the beautiful old house had to go. Nice to see the before and after for comparison.

[Michael Smith]

Fantastic capture and choice! Neo-Tudor F. Scott Fitzgerald vs. Soviet Bloc Readymix...hmmm.

[Carole Imes]

Too bad it had to be torn down. I like the old architecture style of that home.

[Stephanie Swift]

Can't help loving the old much more than the new in this case. The Law Library looks like brutalist architecture, which is also the style of the Robarts Library (also known as "Fort Book") at the University of Toronto.

[Néfertiti]

Quel dommage pour l'ancien bâtiment je préfère l'architecture de l’ancienne maison , une superbe image

[Fisher Family]

Wow, how interesting! It's hard to believe they're the same place, the new is so different. I think I too prefer the old one - Lucy

[Danette Thompson]

Good comparison.

[Tineke]

it is a shame, the old one is so nice

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot for old and new. What a difference.

[Bankmann]

I definitely like the old one… ;-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh how sad- the old one was so lovely! Great collage.

[Brianna]

Wow, its great to see the side by side comparison like this! Its strange to know how much buildings change over time and you captured it perfectly in these shots!

[❀ Lynn]

Quite the change they gave it! I like the old one too!

[Cathie]

Cool that you had a photo of the building that used to be there.

[Shirley Banford]

Nice contrast.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

I'd prefer the old one to still be there.

[Dione Giorgio]

I prefer the old building. There is so much character in these old buildings.

What a great shame..

[Danny Davies]

I like the contrast between the two buildings bkb, but my vote is for the old house with character.

[bkb in the city]

@dannydavies You and everyone else

[Diane]

What a contrast! It's wonderful that you have found an old photo of the previous building to show us the history of the site.
