Dominion Building

By britt on March 4, 2010

We finally bought one of the massive prints from the salvage yard that I have been thinking about since we went last June. It is taller than me, which I guess isn’t saying much. There were five of them available, and we had trouble deciding which one to get but this one won out when we realized that it is in Gastown and home to one of our favorite restaurants, Nuba. I took a “now” shot of the building for comparison. Apparently, these prints survived a fire that destroyed the bank they were hanging in.
This is my favorite part:

What is that person looking at? They should really be more careful.
I’m trying to decide whether to leave the frame, or paint it a bright color. Any thoughts?

    I love it! I would paint the frame a bright color . The first color i thought of was teal but I’m not sure what your decor is like. Either way – awesome photo!

    A deep, romantic blue. This reminds me….my husband and I bought a 40 year old movie backdrop that was used at MGM Studios….it looked so sweet in our living room! In storage now :( Love your blog and come and peek often.

    if you were wearing this building print as a dress, what colour cardigan would you want overtop of it? This is the colour you should paint the frame. If it were me, I think I’d go yellow.

    I would frame it in something colorful or just a thick black. It’s going to look lovely in your home.

    I’d go with black myself, then make it look antiqued by distressing the frame.

    beautiful! and so wonderfully full of history — the frame looks quite lovely against the grainy black and white of the photograph
