Goodness; about to topple over?

Steve Skafte said:
No, it's just taken at a bad angle.

Halifax Municipal Archives said:
You are probably right, Steve Skafte - but many of these Works Department images were taken by building inspectors documenting unsightly premises... This building most probably no longer exists because they started enforcing Ordinance 50 requiring upkeep of buildings.

"A Redevelopment Study of Halifax, Nova Scotia 1957" (Retrieval Code 711.45 .S8 v.1) refers to it as "TENEMENT BUILDING IN MARKET STREET" on page 14 (PDF page 25).

Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Good catch, Ryan Tucker! It looks like we did note the study and that it was possibly on Market Street in the database description and forgot to note that here - we will go back in and make it clearer that we do think it is Market Street. Thank you for the identification!

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.
