I tink thats SMU

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: .

thanks :)

The car is a 1964 Chevrolet.

Corner of Cornwallis and Bauer looking up towards the Commons?

Thanks for another date verification Bill Jarvis!

That does look like the right distance down from the Commons, Cara MacDonald - but since the building on the corner is not the same as the row-houses there now, we can't be sure. Any other clues?

Looks like Vernon at Pepperell, looking north toward Canadian Tire at the corner, and Saint Joseph's Orphanage on the other side of Quinpool.

Is it the Halifax Infirmary on Queen St, Halifax being built?

Good suggestion, Jane MacNeil but this postcard of the Infirmary (www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=vgJ8mSe...) shows it had 5 stories and just rectangular window openings, unlike this image.

The Halifax Infirmary was constructed in 1933, and we had pegged the cars pictured in this image earlier than that - but if any car-buffs can weigh in on that, maybe we can get a better date estimate.

This building replaced the hotel that burnt down on Hollis Street

Thanks www.flickr.com/photos/193508122@N07/ , do you have more details, such as where on Hollis, or which hotel? We can check the Street Directories for the 1910s with a few more details.
