Late in 1999 we had the chance to take photographs from the roof of Trimac House near the west end of Calgary's downtown. Vision was restricted to the northwest quadrant of the city, and we were hampered by an evening haze. However, with the west end being developed, these pictures with serve as a reminder of the old houses that used to be there.
