    building on Hollis Street across from the Split Crow

    Thanks www.flickr.com/photos/193508122@N07/ Are you thinking of the buildings along Granville Mall, where the Split Crow is now? Or somewhere nearby on Hollis? I checked Google Streetview in that area but didn't recognize these buildings; however they could no longer be there.

    Isn’t this photo backwards?
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Haggis We don't believe so -- all the numbers in the photo appear to be the right way around!
  • Ryan Tucker said:
    1795 Hollis. You can see the reflection of the Royal Bank in the windows, and the building on the right would be George Street Bank of Montreal (archives.novascotia.ca/eastcoastport/archives/?ID=2082). I think the small building in the photo was at one point Acadia Insurance Co. based on a 1960 phone directory.
