EDMONTON,CANADA — The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city5 s oldest neighbourhoods,butit'ssettobeknockeddown. Edmontonians are hoping more can be done to preserve(保留) more of the city's history.
“The reason the area is popular in the first place is because it's a historic neighbourhood. And I think it's important that we preserve history,” said Mark Wilson,owner of Vivid Print ,shop on Whyte Avenue at 103 Street.Wilson's business is located in a building two doors down from the Etzio,a building that is more than a century old. But after 117 years on Whyte Avenue,the building is coming down to make way for a new three-floor development.
“It has become acceptable to simply pull down old buildings and put up new buildings that look old ,” said Wilson. “The words on the sidewalks here say historic area. Well's not historic if all the buildings are 10 years old."
It's a move that disappoints Wilson and others on the street who believe more should be done to keep the character of Edmonton.
“I think in this area it's important because it keeps the flavour of Edmonton,and Edmonton is known for Whyte Ave.,” said a woman on Saturday afternoon.
“Some of the old culture should still be there ,I think added a man who was walking along the street. “It makes Edmonton unique(獨一無二的) .Without it,it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world."
Wilson 一 looking fondly at the old building 一 believes a little piece of history is lost with every building that's tom down.
After the Etzio building is tom down,the Old Strathcona Hotel and the Ross building will be the only two buildings left from the 1800s.
