The Rattenbury Wing of Chateau Lake Louise, one of Canada’s grand railway hotels. Designed by Francis Rattenbury 1900-1912, it was destroyed by fire in 1924 and replaced by the Barrot Wing a year later
Viscount1881 says The hotel nowadays. Photo of the Rattenbury Wing next to the newer additions sometime in the 1920s. The architect, Francis Rattenbury, who was famously murdered in 1935. More info about the railway hotels.
jollygreenscott91 says “Destroyed by fire.” Destroyed by arson. No record of construction. Anomalous architecture.
