The Deseronto Archives collected documents, photographs and other materials relating to the town of Deseronto in eastern Ontario, Canada. The materials are now available for research in Belleville, Ontario, at the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County. The Archives used Flickr to provide online access to the photographs held in its collections. In some cases, the images have been created by scanning materials that were loaned to the Archives for this purpose, meaning that not all the items in our Flickr pages are actually held at the Archives. All the materials may be freely re-used or adapted for commercial or non-commercial purposes - please acknowledge Deseronto Archives as the source of the images. Please contact the archivist, Amanda Hill, if you have any queries about the collection.

    Found the address to this house also. It was located at 9938-107th Avenue, Edmonton AB. Address was registered to Mowat Biggar (Barrister with firm "Short, Cross & Biggar") The house was located in a once posh residential district west of downtown - a couple of blocks north of the Alberta Legislature Building. The site unfortunately is just a parking lot now.

    Biggar's partner, William Short of "Short Cross & Biggar" served as the 7th Mayor of Edmonton (1902-1904) when it was a Town. He later served as the 2nd Mayor of Edmonton (1913) - after it became a City (1905)

    I'm a volunteer with Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre. It would be good to know more about this photo or on any other photos you may have on Montrose Air Station.

    Michael Hello Michael - this postcard was part of a collection owned by George Munk - there's some more information in the album description at www.flickr.com/photos/deserontoarchives/albums/7215762751..., but as far as we know, this is the only photo we have from Montrose.
