History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Banff Springs Hotel

The world famous Banff Springs Hotel, located in Banff, Alberta, is seen in this picture taken in October 1929. The hotel was originally built as a railway hotel in 1887 by the Canadian Pacific Railway in order to attract more people to railroad travel. The year round hotel, set in the breathtaking scenery of the Canadian Rockies, attracts countless tourists every year.
