people worked harder in those days and they were highly skilled one of the buildings constructed in the city of Winnipeg was only built in 4 months it had over 400 workers many of these buildings are no longer with us they have been torn down and removed
I find the masonry, stonework & architecture of the time so appealing, the craftsmanship involved is evident. I like that Winnipeg still has a lot of character buildings, though it would be nice for more to remain. One Great Grandfather worked in the old Royal Bank building & another Great Grandpa along with his children owned & operated a tailoring & furrier business that had two locations in Winnipeg. (I was eagerly looking for signage of their shops in the photos) I appreciate how the municipal planners designed very wide streets, I think they add a lot to a cities character. Thanks for putting these together
I love these video kinds of videos, if you have any dates or footnotes associated with the photos I'd love to see them included as text near the bottom or in a corner in your next collection or if you plan on doing similar uploads in the future. Those with the hand-written water marks on the photos really add character.
yes I will probably do that. Post dates on when these photos were taken. Some of the photos do have a year date on them. The orange photographs are all from 1873 and earlier. Winnipeg didn't have that many buildings. some of the photos from 1904 and later have vehicles in them. And some of the buildings were built in 1910. the problem is a lot of people do not know the date of building was built. But I do.
Thank you.
Such buildings in the mid 1800's unbelievable how so much could have been built in such a short time, especially when the weather is so cold
