Description
Sitting in the area on the banks of the Bow River near downtown Calgary, Alberta sits a cafe that was once the home for the Eau Claire and Bow River Lumber Company and Calgary Water Power Company. This site was selected in 1886 for its easy access to fallen timber. The community where it sits is also called Eau Claire. A mix of riverside condominiums, shopping, restaurants, hotels, a large public plaza and urban parkland make Eau Claire one of Calgary's most popular areas. Contained within Eau Claire is the city's Festival District.
According to 'Wikipedia', In 2015, "Eau Claire had a population of 1,851 living in 1,328 dwellings, an 8.2% increase from its 2011 population of 1,711".
I love old buildings. This one has such character.
