Hi friends,
First time poster on the Edmonton Skyrise Forum.
I came across some interesting articles & photos related to your fine city while researching some Calgary archives.
A lot of this is not "Unbuilt" but some of it is so I decided to post it here.
This first set is from the "Alberta Business Journal" from 1967.
CN Tower:
Centennial Building:
Edmonton House & McCauley Plaza (Early Days):
Chateau Lacombe:

What they thought Edmonton in 1980 would be like - they predicted a number of things accurately - others, not so much:

Capilano Bridge under construction:
Edmonton House on the right:

What did Lougheed do to quash optimism ?
