Today known as the Bowker Building, completed 1931 - "The five-storey structure was designed by provincial government architect Fred H. MacDonald with consulting input from Dr. Cecil Burgess, Professor of Architecture at the University of Alberta."

No problem. It's quite the gorgeous building in person. The trees planted in front in the photo you've posted have grown into quite large mature trees, which makes photographing the building difficult, but are otherwise quite strikingly beautiful.

Alot was lost in the interior when the renos were done back in the 80's. The main stairwell is a cheesy brown tile. Gone is the traditional granite along with the original ceilings being hidden with a drop down. The exterior rocks.
