Pure Food Building
- ... that the Pure Food Building (1922) at the Canadian National Exhibition was paid for in full by its exhibitors?
- Comment: There are pics, but I don't think they'd work as thumbs.
Created/expanded by Zanimum (talk). Self nominated at 20:55, 24 August 2013 (UTC).
- 16px Looking good length and datewise. Hook fact is referenced. As sources are offline, AGF for paraphrasing. Article could cover a bit more modern history, is there anything on the building post 1940s? I think the accessdates can be stripped out - they're not necessary for news articles in a static archive. Otherwise, a decent little article. The Interior (Talk) 02:55, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
