23 Mar 10 - Well when *Brightburn* approached me with the idea I had second thoughts, but after a re-think I thought it'd be a great homage to the building to amass all of your wonderful shots all in one place.
So here it is. Obviously we'll not be seeing any new shots, but search your archives, and add them all here, you lovers of the EASW's. Your tribute to a building that has been a part of Edmonton since 1923!

About Edmonton Auto Spring WorksThe historic landmark Edmonton Auto Spring Works auto shop on Jasper Avenue and 95th street was destroyed by fire on Sunday March 21, 2010. According to fire investigators the fire was due to structural failure when the building's roof collapsed and separated approximately one foot from the top of the north wall. The stress on the wall caused electrical wiring to come into contact with a metal conduit and a metal power switch box. The result was an electrical arc that ignited the fire. The building, a favourite of amateur and professional photographers alike, will be sorely missed. This group was created as a tribute to the century old building (circa 1904) which housed Edmonton Auto Spring Works since 1923. Edmonton Auto Spring Works was founded in 1914 by Henry McCoy. He established the business originally out of a blacksmith shop. |
