BARRYMORE'S, OTTAWA


Visited Ottawa this weekend and spent time wandering around the Bankstreet area taking pictures. I noticed this sad looking theatre. It is a pity to see buildings like this one in such a state of decay. Sure we cannot save everything but you wonder about the history of these places and if people are even interested in keeping these architectural artifacts, after all a city is a living artwork.

  1. I thought Barrymores was a night spot or club or bar with live music.

    Mike, I really like the colour photograph. I find it 'pulls' you into the history of the building. It must have had a different name once, and been quite a handsome building.
    Nice tight shot capturing the essence of this building.
