Then and Now. MacDonald Hotel

So when we were put for dinner the other night l took a picture of this archive photo hanging in the hotel. This dates back to 1915 during final construction of the hotel.
So I decided to compare it to what it looks like 103 years later

[Henri Russell]

They have really maintained it well. Nice comparison shot.

[jurgen raemez]

Beautiful.

[Candace]

Great Building!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely collage to compare them.

[Jane Anderson]

Built to last and last and last!

[Mave]

Lovely building

[Lou Ann]

This is wonderful, the newer photo looks so much better, even though it does look like the building’s exterior hasn’t changed.

[Diana]

What a difference, lovely building.

[gloria jones]

Great comparison shots and architectural details in each

[J A Byrdlip]

Nice that they preserved the original look of the building, even though it looks like they added an elevator(?) to the left.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely building, it’s weathered well!

[Annika]

wonderful building indeed

[Bep]

Nice to see the old and new in a collage.

The structure hasn't changed much but the trees have definitely added some beauty to the surroundings. Nice collage!

The picture of the now looks much more lively. great comparison though.

The only thing to change are the trees and the cars.
