This is most surely 5669 Inglis St. The architectural details on this home and the next couple of homes match exactly to the hertiage homes located there today. the building in the background is the apartments on South Park. blocked out by the tree foilage that is there today in google map pictures

tom chute Thank you for the identification, I agree that that looks like the same stretch of houses (though in different colours). The description has now been updated in our database.

If anyone is wondering, as I was, why the air force needed boats: sites.rootsweb.com/~andersonfamily/RCAFMarine.htm
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks jamica1 - that is fascinating - and explains why they had such interesting names - the crash boats were always named after Canadian waterfowl!
Tom Barlow said:
They were patrolling the harbour and recovering any RCAF patrol planes that may have crashed In the harbour or In the vecinity. They would recover any surviving pilots from the cold ocean before it was to late.

If I am not wrong you are referring to the RCN - Duck Class patrol boat like the HMCS Mallard, Loon and Cormorant. My grandfather served on one of those boats.
