Then and Now......A Few Changes

One last then and now shot for awhile.
Here we see the Canada Permanent Building in the top picture. Built in 1910 it was hailed as Edmonton's premier loan institution of its day.
As you can see a lot has changed over the years including the addition of the McLeod Building next door to it which opened in 1915
Today the Canada Permanent Building sits empty waiting for a new use. One thing for sure is the building is protected by historical status from being torn down

[Allison Williams]

Wow, it looked so imposing in the top picture. Now, it gets lost next to the tall buildings on the block.

[KWind]

Agree with Allison above... Looks so small in the bottom shot.

[Dinah Pinkston]

What a difference time makes! It is nice that the building has gained historical status and will remain standing.

[Diana]

I so love the old architeture.

[Harbie]

Interesting comparison!

[Jane Morley]

It looks huge in the old shot and dwarfed in the second! Love the comparison.

[Babs]

So glad it is still standing even though the new buildings tower over it now

[Marloes]

How interesting!

[Dione Giorgio]

You may call me nostalgic but I prefer the then picture and the lovely architecture. Thank you for sharing this great series.

[Lou Ann]

I’m so glad it is protected. It is a beautiful building.

[Chris H]

Much prefer the then picture but how marvellous that the old building is still standing.

[Jane Anderson]

It's amazing how quickly the new becomes aged!

[Fisher Family]

A super now and then. I prefer the then!

It has certainly been dwarfed by the newer buildings.

A beautiful building and so wonderful that it is protected by historical status.
