Under Renovations

This is The Strathcona Hotel. It was built in 1891 as a hotel for the C & E Railroad. The new owners have decided to do some Reno's on the building.
The ground level will be home to a new Pub while the 2nd and 3rd Floors will be hotel rooms.
It is actually a miracle it is still standing due to the fact that last year when the Renos started there was a fire that did a fair amount of damage especially to the roof

Empty street and shops closed : signs of the time...

[Sarah Bremner]

Quite a bit of history....hope all the virus stuff doesn't hold things up for too long.

It's a nice looking building but the streets are empty of cars and people. hope it will be back normal soon. both of you, pls. stay safe.

A plain architecture. Practical I imagine, but harkening back to older times, too.

[Monique]

The empty street makes for a beautiful shot !
