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.
Identified! Plumbing business in building on Union Street in Glace Bay, Cape Breton

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.
