Fort and Scotten is the scene of today’s Photo Du Jour. This brightly painted shop grabbed my attenion for two reasons.

1. It’s bright yellow
2. It’s the only building on the block.

I couldn’t find out much for a history on this one. It was built after 1900, and in 1921 it was serving as a drug store. I would hazard around 1910 was when this one was built. It features great architectural details on the upper bay window.

  • Looks like maybe this building was part of another building at one time? It kind of ends abruptly to the right?

  • I'd love to see it in it's hay day with all the windows in place and original colouring etc...
