Memories of New Westminster

Everyday I travel past the downtown area of New Westminster, the future sight of our condo. There are some beautiful old buildings that make up the downtown area near the river and give an idea of New West's old past. I have wanted to shoot this building for quite some time, but just had not got around to it.

It is to the west end of the downtown and in a bit of a dodgy area. I worry that it is ear-marked for demolition and won't be preserved. It is sheet metal or something of the sort, so unlike the brick and stone buildings popular in the area, this one doesn't real hold much renovation possibilities. The colours are beautiful though, and I love the old writing style along the side of the building.

Everyone has their favourites, this is definitely one of mine.
