Then and Now....Commerce Place

Today ends my Then and Now series. The Thistle Rink was built in 1902. It had a short life. October 31 1913 it was destroyed by a fire.
After that for several decades the sight was home to numerous retailers.
In 1990 Comerce Place opened its doors. The bottom two floors is home to many retail shops. Then you have the 27 story office tower
