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.

The Glace Bay Hotel on Union Street according to these Facebook pictures: www.facebook.com/VintageCapeBreton/photos/glace-bay-hotel... and www.facebook.com/groups/2348963930/posts/10158192218658931/
Possibly rear of 5 Salter St., showing 80-90 Hollis St. in background

The Chevrolet has a 1960 license plate, which was also used in 1961. The Studebaker does not have the 1961 windshield sticker, so the photo probably dates to 1960.

Good eye Bill Jarvis ! When we can zoom into those license stickers it is really helpful for dating photos. We may never nail the location down, unless someone recognizes those tall buildings in the background.

Could the building in the back on the right be the old Halifax infirmary?
-
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Abbie Hudson Hi Abbie! It looks like it definitely could be the Halifax Infirmary, but we couldn't completely be sure, so I've just labelled the photo with that as a possibility for now. Thanks for your help!

The buildings in the background are ~80-90 Hollis Street (new civic ~1496 Hollis Street). I think that would mean this photo was taken from the north side of Salter (between Lower Water and Hollis)... possibly from a back/side yard of 5 Salter Street (Ref. Retrieval Code 102-39-1-1321)

Do you know anything about what’s in these photos?
