In reply to Toby. We found out about it soon after this piece was published. Always late to the party! I'm sure we missed others too.

You missed one. It’s just north of Memorial before Crowchild and looks like a pumping station or something.

Thanks for the memories of Killarney Pool. I used to swim there all the time in the 1970s when I lived in Calgary.

Hi Chris and Connie, I’m about four hours north of Calgary, but I lived there as a child and know that Forest Lawn building well! Thank you for sharing!

In reply to Eric May. Back my trucking days I seem to think I made a delivery that building and yes, it's wide open inside. The roof really didn't fit, but sort of had the look of the era, and it's from the era, so we included it. I think that barber shop is (or was) still in business. Thanks for commenting!

The Lehigh cement roof was built with precast concrete tees which enable long spans, so there’s probably no interior supports required. Less concrete is needed at the edge of the tees which gives the roof the undulating profile.
The Anytime Fitness building has hardly changed since it was built. It even has a barber pole.
