Edmonton In Black and White...Back In The Day

The brick building nicknamed the Beaver House was the storage warehouse for the Hudson Bay Department Store. The nickname was a connection to the Furtrade that built the Hudson Bay Company into the huge business it became. The large entrance at the back of the building allowed the company to park boxcars from the railway inside in order to be protected from inclement weather while being unloaded
