Identified! Tenement building on Market Street

Goodness; about to topple over?

Steve Skafte said:
No, it's just taken at a bad angle.

Halifax Municipal Archives said:
You are probably right, Steve Skafte - but many of these Works Department images were taken by building inspectors documenting unsightly premises... This building most probably no longer exists because they started enforcing Ordinance 50 requiring upkeep of buildings.

"A Redevelopment Study of Halifax, Nova Scotia 1957" (Retrieval Code 711.45 .S8 v.1) refers to it as "TENEMENT BUILDING IN MARKET STREET" on page 14 (PDF page 25).

Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Good catch, Ryan Tucker! It looks like we did note the study and that it was possibly on Market Street in the database description and forgot to note that here - we will go back in and make it clearer that we do think it is Market Street. Thank you for the identification!
Identified! Plumbing business in building on Union Street in Glace Bay, Cape Breton

Is it the Halifax Infirmary on Queen St, Halifax being built?
-
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
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.
