This small building, once home to meatpackers and stockyard labourers, will soon give way to a highway overpass.

“It was known as the CN Tower a decade before Toronto had one of its own.

And, for a time, it reigned supreme as Edmonton’s tallest building at a full 27 storeys.”

Before Kind Ice Cream brought fame to this Highlands corner, another business did: Stone’s Meats.

It might not look like much, but beneath the ol’ Hub Hotel’s pockmarked walls and faux-stone facade hides the remnants of Jasper House, the first brick building between Vancouver and Winnipeg.

Built to house luxurious apartments, the Gibbard Block now houses offices and a slew of local eateries.

This bank branch might be easy to ignore, but in its plain beauty lies a great — if small — example of Modernist design.

This ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ piece of history clings to the monolithic walls of Commerce Place.
