Possibly identified! 59 Lucien Drive, Dartmouth looking north

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Michael Dennis said:
    This is really tough one, but my best guess is 59 Lucien Drive, with part of 57 also visible. These houses are quite unusual with their shallow roofs and lack of a brick chimney. Although its siding has been changed, the spacing of the windows and door matches that of 59, and the lay of the land seems correct, with the upward curve of the as-yet-undeveloped road in the foreground and the elevation dropping off at the back toward the north end of Settle Lake in the right background, and possibly the Mount Edward reservoir visible on the ridge in the distance.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Good deductions Michael Dennis , We'll leave it at possibly identified until we have more confirmation, as Lucien Drive is quite aways from the other East Dartmouth development photographs that were on these strips of negatives.

Identified! 3-10 Dunrobin Drive, Dartmouth under construction

    Looks like Dunrobin Drive, Dartmouth
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Michael Dennis Hi Michael, can you point to some details that help you identify this as Dunrobin Drive?
  • Michael Dennis said:
    I see the side of number 10 on the left, and the fronts of 3, 5, 7, and 9. Note that number 9 has the unique transverse peaked roof, running front to back on the right side. Note also that number 5 has been modified at some point with an addition on the front, including a small peaked roof.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thanks to you and Google Maps, Michael Dennis your identification looks accurate. Impressed that you recognized all these areas under construction - thanks!
