I work at an architectural firm that has recently moved into the very old & majestic Lumberman’s Building on Richards Street. The building was built in 1909 by lumber baron Charles Fenn Pretty, who used the building to lead a fascist group called Fascisti of Canada. Good vibes. Anyway, I was initially disappointed with the firm’s move as we had recently resided in the head of the Suntower Building, which is so very stunning & extremely old also. Alas, I have fallen in love with the new building & so my disappointment has thankfully dissolved.

The interior space of the Lumberman’s Building is still being completely re-designed from the ground up, but the original elements remain & thus sustain the coolness of the building itself.

I was asked to shoot the building over the weekend & came away with some decent work. Enjoy.
