Old Halifax

[OldDartmouthMark]

Those shots remind me why I have so much respect for firefighters. It could have been quite a disaster had those fuel tanks gone up.

I highly recommend Doors Open. I've done it a few times and am thankful I have had the chance to see some of Halifax's historic buildings from the inside as that's where the history really rings strong. Some of the buildings have since changed ownership as well (like the Halifax Club) and weren't open in subsequent years, so it was great that I got in while the opportunity was there. ...Which again reminds me of how much is lost when an old building is gutted with only the facade remaining. In some eyes it's the same as saving the old building, but really it's just a hollow shell that's left behind as a reminder of what used to be there...
