Cyclist and car on unidentified [Halifax] street - possibly South Park St.

    Maybe South Park St at Inglis, before Young Ave.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    The trolley tracks did go along South Park St., and turned up Inglis so you could be right, Lynn Currie Thanks!
  • Abbie Hudson said:
    In 1923 we switched to driving on the right side of the road. Same with the steering wheel switching to the left side. Although blurry, it looks like this car has the steering wheel on the left side and is driving on the right... so I'm thinking it must be after 1923

    Abbie Hudson Thanks for your help with this, Abbie! That's a great piece of information to go on. We've updated the date here and in the database.

Possibly identified! NCSS Halifax campus buildings on Bell Road

    I tink thats SMU
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thank you for the suggestion, Luke Elwood! I'm not sure the pedway matches the one I was able to see is at SMU, but after looking into it some more, I think this may be the old NSCC building on Bell Road. The windows seem to match those in this photo: .
