Things Are Changing

So are a couple of photos. Same location but very different buildings.
On the left is the Buena Vista Building which used to be home to the Glenora Bed & Breakfast.
It has since been torn down and is being replaced by a new condo.
The did save the bricks from the the original building which will be put back in place when it is done

Fav. Mumbai has a lot of old crumbling buildings being replaced with new multi-storey hi-rise apartments. Sometimes making an area unrecognisable.

[Diana]

what a difference!

[Daisy Miller]

Good shots. While I like modern buildings, I love the older buildings. I wish we could save more of the older ones, especially ones like the one you photographed. The vintage sign is also precious on that building.

[Henri Russell]

That is quite a difference.

[Daleksarecoming]

wow great idea

[J A Byrdlip]

Hope they preserved the painted sign, but alas, we can hope.

[gloria jones]

Great comparison shots

[Lynda McG]

Such a shame when they knock down these interesting old buildings!

[Danette Thompson]

Construction everywhere.

[Diane]

Awesome comparison of then and now! I hope when they reinstall the bricks you can still see the ghost sign from the old building. Maybe you could post another photo of the new building when it is completed. Fav.

[Chris H]

Great comparison, much prefer the old.

[KWind]

Great comparisons!

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow, what a comparison...

[Pat Knowles]

Very interesting buildings, that is some crane!

[Helen Sanderson]

nowhere stays the same it would seem

[Korcsog Károly]

.. and life with us!

[Tunia McClure]

I hope you'll take a picture when the new building is complete.

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! A great comparison collage.

[Jane Anderson]

Nice blending of the old and the new. Your project shows how thoughtful Edmonton is in decisions like this.

[PhylM-S]

glad you're documenting the changes - I think in this instance, I prefer the older building - granted I mayf eel differently when the newer is completed.

[Sheralee S]

It would be good to see when the bricks are replaced. It's a shame to see the old buildings torn down but can understand it.

[Wendy]

Very cool comparison. So glad that they are keeping the bricks from the old building - important to retain history when we can!

@daleksarecoming I am glad they will preserve the facade but it would have been better to have saved the original building
