    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!

    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.

    Formerly known as "Wallis Heights" in Dartmouth, now called Ocean Breeze. Soon to be all demolished.

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

  • Lynn Currie said:
    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.
