Years ago the Herald did a survey of "send us pics of heritage sites which are important to you" or something of that nature and more than one person sent in the Barley Mill in Eau Claire, fooled into thinking it was part of Calgary's history even though it was probably 10 years old at the time. I would prefer to not sow even more confusion.
Frankly, there was little left of the original remaining anyway, not only after being converted into a rooming house for eight borders in 1941, but further after the rooming house configuration was changed to make it into apartments.
