Continued from here. 


I begin my day here, at the historically innaccurate (for 1920s street) but historically significant Al Rashid Mosque. We have a changing room in its basement. Several other (many, I would say) buildings that appear on Fort Edmonton's streets were transported from elsewhere. Some are reproductions, but many are authentic, especially the religious buildings.
There the mosque is on the left. Also, peony garden, a drug store (with morphine wall!) and a delicious ice cream store. Not shown is the Tom Thumb miniature golf course, where I spent time.

 The junction of 1905 st and 1920s street. Ukrainian bookstore = 1920s, everything around the corner = 1905.

 A shot of the 1926 Midway, where I work. You can also see a corner of a game booth, the menagerie ride (for kids) covered in an innaccurate gray tarp, the high-striker (strong man hammer thing) and an old railway car in the distance. Oh, and the Ferris Wheel. It's small as Ferris Wheels go (two people per seat), and is a portable version made in 1940. The design hadn't changed much from the 1920s, though. The next time I go to work on my day off, I'll photograph the heck out of the gorgeous hand-carved carousel, which is my favourite part of my job. :3

 Chaps from 1920s street. I must photograph the guy on the right in his Great War veteran outfit.

A friend of mine (and carpool buddy) who works on the train platform (which is immediately post-war, so 1918).

In the next post shall be the brides of 1885, 1905 and 1920s street from the Weddings Through Time special event day, plus the Tableau programme from 1905 street.
