Early pictures of Alberta Towns
Folks,
This came my way and I figured some of you would enjoy what Alberta looked like years past.

Great website. I sent them a couple of pics of old towns they didn't have.

Neat pics for sure. In the Strathmore street pic, they have the view wrong, it is main street facing west, not south. The east door on the old King Eddie was the original wood door, with the key-hole lock & the brass knob. There was also a brass plate inscribed 'Please remove your spurs' that was in place until they changed the door, mid 70's or so.
