It's good to see Riley & McCormick back downtown again, after they closed their previous downtown store seven months ago... This is one of the most historic western wear stores in Calgary, dating back to 1901 through various stores over the years... For reference the photo from this past December - www.flickr.com/photos/sherlock77/2360550212
