Can confirm the brick will be restored. There will also be an addition constructed at the rear (south side) of the building which may possibly include an elevator to the second floor. Great to see one of the city's oldest buildings restored (also the oldest Federal admin building in the province)!
 
I couldn't find a thread on this project, so I figured I’d dump some photos here.

The old Edmonton Land, Timber, and Registry Office, which has long housed the Elizabeth Fry Society, is currently undergoing a massive restoration. Stripping off stucco applied in 1949, the building is apparently being reverted to its original 1893 appearance. One of the oldest brick buildings in Edmonton, this humble structure was built when the city was still a small frontier town located in the North-West Territories, with only a population of 700. Designed by Thomas Fuller, it is the oldest Federal building in the province. In 1913 a new land titles building opened next to the downtown courthouse, rendering this one obsolete. It would become the Victoria Armouries, housing the 19th Alberta Dragoons during the First World War, and the Edmonton Fusiliers during the Second.

All of these photos were taken last Sunday and since then there has been quite a bit more progress. The flat roofed annex portion, closest to the camera in the first picture, has now been almost completely stripped. As a heritage enthusiast this is great to see, but I do worry that some of the brickwork is in noticeably bad condition, as seen in the second picture. The third picture shows the original nameplate starting to peak through the stucco, which somewhat humorously featured a pretty noticeable, and basic, grammar mistake.

Great shots, thank you. No thread on this yet.
I can't wait to see more. Hopefully most will be saved, and as I'm feeling like one of those 700 original residents of Edmonton the sooner the better ( :

I can't wait to see it completed either! Its a shame the Arlington Apartments, which stood across it for nearly a century, is no longer there to complement it though.

Yeah that brick is in rough shape. I really hope they are able to restore this place.
