Summary
[edit]DescriptionFairmont McDonald Hotel (4243805436).jpg |
Edmonton, Alberta The hotel has been erect for over a century, but it has not always been in such a glorious state as it currently is. When it was first built, it cost over $2 million. That translates to over $35 million in today’s currency. It was built in a Chateau style, similar to 16th Century castles made in France. They proved, officially, that it was fit for royalty when King George VI and the Queen Mother stayed there in 1939. During World War II, it housed many American soldiers who were stationed here. However, in 1953, a rather unattractive addition was made in a different architectural style. The hotel closed its doors in 1983 and was ready to be demolished in 1986. Luckily, the City of Edmonton dubbed it a Municipal Heritage Resource—the first in Edmonton, at that. The addition was the only thing demolished. Since, it has gone through a major renovation. It re-opened in 1991, elegant and majestic—a part of Edmonton history. |
