Spot on.

Picture has had one portion modified so as to remove something that would easily identify this building - where is this building?

Yup, how did you know?

lineman · #**126** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 12:00 PM**

I said balmoral first, but realized the roof was different. Those are the only two sandstone schools I know of that are smooth faced.

speedog · #**127** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 10:27 PM**

No hints - you can see that it's old, so where is it?

davee930 · #**128** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 11:15 PM**

This one might be easy

Jimby · #**129** Posted **Mar 18, 2015, 11:41 PM**

Finally, I know one!

speedog · #**130** Posted **Mar 19, 2015, 12:50 AM**

Post up the location then.

It is quite a nice building and it's nice to see that it still exists in Calgary of all places.

I'll let someone else guess, as Speedog's is about 3 blocks from my house.

Fuzz · #**132** Posted **Mar 19, 2015, 3:14 PM**

Well, I had absolutely no clue until Ramsayfarian's tip. A little panning around in Google Earth and streetview spotted the place. Now to track down Ramsayfarian's house from previous clues...

DizzyEdge · #**133** Posted **Mar 19, 2015, 4:40 PM**

It's a pretty rare mansard roof building in Calgary, in fact off hand I can't think of what another one might be.

speedog · #**134** Posted **Mar 19, 2015, 4:48 PM**

It's nice to see it's being maintained and probably stands very little risk of being demolished - I wonder if it's protected?

No it is not.

I would have guessed Mount Royal or something...

Jimby · #**137** Posted **Mar 27, 2015, 5:50 PM**

I don't know if this is well known or not. I saw it yesterday for the first time.

That's right beside Cilantro on 17th, just east of 4St SW. It's a part of the restaurant to the west of Cilantro, no idea what that place is called though.

Jimby · #**139** Posted **Mar 27, 2015, 7:25 PM**

Ding ding ding we have a winner!

Bar C is the place to the left and you can see their brand at the bottom of the gate.

That's been there for about a year I think, I had to stop and look at it the first time I saw it. Bar C makes sense, was trying to decipher that logo on Street view lol.

Someone else can post another one, I have one in mind but don't have time to go looking for photos, so maybe I'll do a future one.
