Banff Springs Hotel - Dumping site after 1926 fire

I will post more photos when I get a chance, this site is very extensive. After the fire that destroyed the north wing of the Banff Springs Hotel in 1926, I've been told that rather than try to salvage anything they just took it all to this location and dumped it. I've been told that there are items that are of extreme value that were dumped here. The extent of the disposal and the lack of willingness to salvage is evident as soon as you walk into this area, there are plates, cups, fully intact bottles that I can imagine were full of the most expensive liquors in addition to large structural elements.


Unlucky horseshoe, ceramic bits and ink well.


Same as above different angle.


Debris shining in the sunlight.


Something structural.

Broken glass bottles, ceramic plates and cups.


Melted glass.

Sorry, I realize these photos are hard to see, I am going to try to find a 3rd party host to post the large detailed photos on.

This is pretty interesting... Where is this place? Is it near the hotel? I stayed at the Banff Springs 10 years ago with my family while we were on vacation, nice place.

It is about a 5 minute drive from the hotel, the area is completely hidden and considering how long it took me to find out about this having grown up here I don't think that many people know about this.

How is this even 'exploration'? It's a loving house you've already been in you weirdo!

The property of the house I live in was a dump before the neighbor hood was developed. My dog kept digging holes in my back yard, and bring up old garbage, and that is how I found out it used to be a dump.

I realize that this post was practically dead and I brought it back to the surface.. but don't hate, I'm just really interested in this place. Any info would be helpful!

Very cool indeed!! I, for one love to find old bottles and determine their age, manufacturer, contents, etc.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!
