Finally finishing this #CityRamble with the Chapple Building. Built in 1913 in the Chicago School style for the Grain Commission of Canada. The Victoriaville mall was built around it. I do hope it will get to stay.
Thank for joining me once again.

Fort William's financial district on Victoria. It was once the lifeblood of the city, but it has certainly fallen over the years.

Looking north on Simpson Street. A rather notorious street in Fort Williams that has seen better days and currently looks like it's seeing a revitalization.

Shame, it was lovely sign.

Across the street from the lodge at Miles and Brodie is the Thunder Bay Court. A rather imposing modern structure that sticks out in the architecture of the south core.

Just on Miles and McKellar the historic Coo House. Built in 1898 by George and Sarah Coo, the distinctive turret tower is a local land mark. It's not a bar, called The Tilted Turret, rather fitting I'd say.

Just up the block at Miles and Vickers, the Forth Williams Gardens and the Centre of Curling Canada with a giant curling stone... For all of your curlers out there I'm sure this giant rock will leave you in awe.
