The Higginbotham Building in Lethbridge is for sale.

     The Higginbotham Building currently houses Canada Post, Revenue Canada and Corrections Canada. The Mulroney government privatized many Dominion Buildings, which were located in practically every city and town in Canada.

     When a Dominion Building, prison, armoury or  Experimental Farm is denationalized, Canada's Maple Leaf Flag and Coat of Arms are removed from the property. The flagpole at Kingston Pen is still there, but not the flag.
 The Lethbridge Government of Canada property is apparently worth $7,950,000 dollars. During the 1970's a federal employment agency called Manpower was located here, as well as Canada Customs.
I am on a loading dock at the Higginbotham Building, second from left - 1973.
