Government House - a photo on Flickriver

Government House

Alberta's Lieutenant Governor's Mansion was built in 1913. It is constructed of sandstone in the Jacobean Revival style.
From 1913 to 1938 it was home to six Lieutenant Governors.
Lieutenant Governor John C. Bowen refused to give Royal Assent to three of Premier William Aberhart (Bible Bill) government's bills in 1937. Two of the bills would have put the province's banks under the control of the provincial government, while a third, the Accurate News and Information Act , would have forced newspapers to print government rebuttals to stories the provincial cabinet deemed "inaccurate". All three bills were later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Lieutenant Governor, John C. Bowen was the last to live in the mansion.
At some time during an oil boom the long running Conservative government turned the third floor into a board room - destroying the architectural integrity.
This building is now used for official government functions.

D4 mounted on a tripod.
Used the "shift" function on a Nikon 24mm PC-E - stitched two images to form a vertical panorama (Lightroom Classic). Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for the monochrome conversion.
