68 Front St., Pictou, NS. This one was tricky since it isn’t in HRM!
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks Abbie Hudson! Pam Collins took these photographs to illustrate her husband Lou Collins' lecture on Victorian buildings, so not surprising she included some examples outside Halifax - we really needed your help identifying this one.

Identified! Corner of Vernon and Pepperell Streets looking north to Quinpool Rd.

The car is a 1964 Chevrolet.

Corner of Cornwallis and Bauer looking up towards the Commons?
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks for another date verification Bill Jarvis!
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
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.
