Just wondering if this building is still standing? I cannot find any info regarding its current status. It used to be a branch of Marshall-Wells!

No, that building is no longer standing. From the Edmonton Public Library website:

Marshal Wells Building (Built: 1919)
The Marshall-Wells Alberta Company commenced business in Edmonton, July, 1912, by purchasing the wholesale hardware business of Ross Bros., Limited, and the Sommerville Hardware Company, this being their first start in the hardware jobbing business in Alberta, from which they have steadily grown to their now immense proportions. The business has advanced remarkably since the time of its incorporation, and in 1919 it was found necessary to build premises to handle the ever-increasing business and the new building in which they are now situated, is the finest hardware structure in the Dominion of Canada. Combined with their branches in Western Canada, they comprise the principal wholesale hardware distribuutors in the Dominion of Canada.

To whoever demolished it, and to the city :bash:
