I'm just waiting for the Chinese gate to be erected on 97 St, which I assume will occur in the spring.
it’s the most edmonton thing we do…All that time closed and none of that could have been done then???
Please OH please remove the combined sewer or put an intercept device for that area.I knew it couldn't last, Epcor is back on 98st fixing something. and there will be repair work in the summer as well. View attachment 365439
I think this is a repair. There were here a couple of months back holding up the construction.it’s the most edmonton thing we do…
Good dig. I'm thinking its possibly the second shot. The first one looks like its lined up in the current Alberta Hotel site. Looking at the back ground in the photos.^ I'm almost certain it's from one of two buildings: the Fraser Block or the Hutchings Block. They stood three and five lots west of the intersection at 99th and Jasper, respectively. 99th was realigned in 1975, hence why it's now under the street.

Yup that's a better image. You can see MacDonald place across the street there.^^
you can see the top of chancery place in your first image and the top of century place in the second which helps orient you to where it was taken.
this one also shows exactly where the mandarin gardens stood on jasper and which to my eye is about the middle of where rue hull/99th is currently aligned:
