Edmonton In Black and White.....Government House

I have featured this building a few times on my project. This is Government House. It opened in 1913 as the official residence for the Lt. Governor of Alberta. It was used as a residence until 1938 when the then Premier of Alberta had a huge disagreement with the Lt. Governor . Today the Provincial Government holds their weekly Cabinet Meetings here and it is used for other formal functions. Tours are offered on the weekends.

[Nigel Rogers]

Very clear shot, and great composition in portrait mode

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely building, great composition & that untouched snow is fab..

[Delboy79]

Intriguing shot - the snow acting as a lead

[JackieR]

That snow is asking to be run onto and my name written in footprints!!!

[Joan Robillard]

Look at all that undisturbed snow. Snow angels anyone?

[Beryl Lloyd]

So bright and pure - not a footprint in sight!

[Jenny]

Pristine snow....makes me want to run through the middle of it.

[Lou Ann]

So the Premier kicked the Lt. Governor out of his home?! Oh my! This is a lovely snow photo, so nice in B&W.

[Dione Giorgio]

Well done with the pristine snow for a foreground.

Great shot

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful house.

[Paula Fontanini]

Another beauty in b&w....I think portrait mode worked really well. Just snow in the foreground, no clutter to get in the way...your eye just goes straight to the front door.

[Harry J Benson]

Nice architectural photo

An impressive shot of this large and imposing building - fav!

@louannwarren Lou Ann the Premier was trying to pass legislation that was unconstitutional and the Lt. Governor refused to give it royal assent . Since it was towards the end of the Great Depression the Alberta government was trying to pass a bill that would have allowed them to print their own currency
