The Closing of Eaton's

Eaton's Store Sign

Eaton's Store EntranceWhen Eaton’s stores closed, we went out to photograph and document this venerable Canadian institution. None of the Eaton’s stores in Edmonton were really old, but even recent buildings have a story to tell and especially one like Eaton’s where so many people in Edmonton shopped there or grew up referring to the Eaton’s Catalogue.

Eaton's InteriorIn the case of stores that were in malls, people wonder what you’re doing with cameras and they understand once you tell them, but commercial spaces are not the same as public spaces when it comes to taking photos.
