How Things Change

Located downtown is the Telus Tower. Standing at 33 stories it was built on the site where Edmonton's first high school once stood. The College Avenue High School was built in 1895 and many individuals who would go on to play prominent roles in the cities history attended here

[gloria jones]

Great photos and history on then and now

[Dixie Goode]

Such an interesting comparison shot.

[Casablanca]

Wow, what a contrast this is! Truthfully, I prefer the older architecture!

[Jean]

The older architecture had a lot more character.

[KWind]

Great shots!

[Diana]

What a change, I so prefer the old building style.

[Margaret Brown]

A bit of a change but nice to know it’s still going strong!!

[Henri Russell]

I love the old architecture with all its character. The new building will house more students though, so I am sure it was needed. I love the comparison photo.

[Chris H]

What a huge contrast, much prefer the old, it has such character.

[Granagringa]

wonderfully shown.

[Pat Knowles]

A massive change here! I think I might like the old one the best!

[Pyrrhula]

Change is the only certainty in time.
Great captures .

[Babs]

Such a difference, the new building is literally a 'high school' isn't it.

[wendy frost]

Wow I have never seen a High Rise school before. love the older more traditional capture.

[Yao RL]

Huge contrast.

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Jane Anderson]

A big difference! Did you attend high school in Edmonton?

[Phil]

Gosh what a difference! I guess the new one will be warmer and take more pupils but I do like the grace and style of the old one. That's progress I guess... Good collage :)
