Discovering The Past

The city is redeveloping a section in the northeast part of Edmonton. While tearing down one old building they uncovered this old Army and Navy Department Store and on the side of the building next to it

[Harry J Benson]

there signage is well preserved

[Diana]

Seems like a bad time to be building in winter, interesting that the signage is still so well preserved.

[Diane]

Great find! Fascinating that it is still in such good condition. Fav.

[Yvonne]

That is fantastic, I take it that the demolished building was up brick to brick for the signage to be so very well preserved. It looks so cold, glad now to be here in New Zealand.

[Wylie]

Oh , now that looks cold!

[Beryl Lloyd]

What fantastic discovery - nicely captured !

[Monique]

Love those old commercial murals

[Ricksnap]

Nice capture, and interesting narrative again

[Dustyloup]

The army navy blue hasn't faded! That's amazing and the rubble and snow make this perfect.

[Mags]

Wonderful old painted sign! Looks very cold where you are.

[Lou Ann]

And you have snow! Wonderful image.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Brr, can't be easy to tear sown buildings in snowy weather

[KV]

The old army navy sign is really cool... love the way the snow covers the old stone blocks.

[Bep]

Beautiful old sign.

[Anne ❀]

interesting find!

[Nina Ganci]

love the way the snow covers the front

[GaryW]

How cool to discover the past.

[Tom]

Love the old sign, part of the past captured

[william wooderson]

Goodness! What will happen to it I wonder? I would hope they preserve this piece of history.

[Margaret Brown]

So cold and a great old sign

[Pat Knowles]

Wow what a find!

[Nova]

Very neat to find this hidden sign and WOW you have snow!

[Jacqueline]

Great find, love those commercial murals!

[Kathy]

A fun street shot. The POV, for me, seems unique in that you captured the sign from behind and to the side.

[Pyrrhula]

Great old sign and winter scene capture.

[gloria jones]

Nice winter shot...Neat vintage sign

[Mave]

Makes me shiver!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow, you got lots of snow. I like the painting on the building.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Cool- urban archaeology!

[Roger Waterhouse]

Love it!

[sheri]

Such an interesting image.

[bruni]

The painting doesn't look that old. well preserved with what is now demolished.

[Fisher Family]

I love these ghost signs. This one is a great find, and in very good condition.
