It's pretty comprehensive and covers so many areas of Manitoba.

Killer. I love Odd Fellow imagery. What do you/what were you doing that this fell out of a wall?

1ajs · #**1573** Posted **Feb 3, 2015, 11:05 PM**

just doing some general cleaning around their old hall at 72 princess theres a rough area in a back room where the plaster is falling off and found it in a pile of recent debree

there was a massive fire in the building at one point so im surprized to find it

Devon · #**1574** Posted **Feb 3, 2015, 11:12 PM**

Nice find for sure! I had to Google the address to picture the building, but I remember being psyched on the cornice design of that building last time I was there. Makes sense that it was the Odd Fellows Hall now!

1ajs · #**1575** Posted **Feb 3, 2015, 11:24 PM**

in the attic theres a bunch more peaces that belong to the cornice detail as well

heres a view from the balcony showing the 3d floor (my sound system hence why im in there)

some famouse punk bands played in that space back in the 80's
