Title of sketch for chapter 6 of Fortress North.

• Au verso:Fort Edmonton This elevation of the stockade was painted from the ground plain below (submitted by Malcom Grant, last steward of the Hudson's Bay Company) and from various descriptions offered by early citizens. Photographic views showing portions of the Fort during Sir Sanford Feming's [sic] inital surveys for the C.P.R. (1870-1) also helped to make the picture authentic.
• Largely built after the amalgamation of the North West and Hudson's Bay fur companies (1821), the Fort stood until demolished at the time of the erection on its grounds (1913) of the Legislative Building.

The first bakery outside of Fort Edmonton, opened by James Lauder in 1885 that became a laundry in the 1920s.
