Interesting to see log construction in the middle of a city (but maybe it makes sense with it being one of the earliest parts of the city?). Allow me to brag a little: log buildings originated in the New World here in Delaware, after being brought over by the Swedish in 1638.

This is what makes Lowertown so great - it's not just 'one of the earliest parts of the city' but THE remaining early part of the city: the plans for Bytown laid out by Colonel By in 1826 included this part of Lowertown, which was quickly built up and has remained urban to this day - and Uppertown, the initial portion of which is completely gone as it was within what is now known as the 'judicial district' (the area west of Parliament and north of Wellington).
Anyway: as always, it is a beautiful photo tour Flar.
