Identified! Sewer project on Queen Street after Morris

from Halifax Municipal Archives

Halifax Municipal Archives said:
It has been suggested by a researcher that this photo could be of Queen St near Morris St, looking north towards Spring Garden Rd, with the old Halifax Infirmary on the right hand side of the photo. What do you think?
Ryan Tucker said:
Definitely looks like Queen Street after Morris. 1320 Queen on the left and the Old Infirmary on the right. The facade and fencing on the right match an old photo of the Infirmary (www.facebook.com/share/p/1H5ZeKJVVv/?mibextid=wwXIfr)
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks, Ryan Tucker! It does look like this is most likely the Halifax Infirmary. We'll update the database description to reflect the location.

Unknown event and location, possibly Beazley Fields

from Halifax Municipal Archives

Ryan Tucker said:
Potentially a track event at Beazley Field in Dartmouth during the Canada Summer Games in August of 1969. Ref. Retrieval Code 101-80C-1-4-H-10

Thanks for your comment, Ryan Tucker! It looks like you may be right, but I haven't been able to confirm it completely, and so I've updated the description in the database with the location as a possibility for now.

Inside entrance to NSCC building on Bell Road

from Halifax Municipal Archives

Scott Bradley said:
Is this the spring garden road library?
Ryan Tucker said:
I haven't been able to find an image of the interior to support this, but I think this is the main entrance to the former NSCC/Vocational School on Bell Road. There is one image I found of the exterior () not long before demolition.
Ryan Tucker said:
Spoke too soon; I found an interior shot posted on a Facebook group: www.facebook.com/share/p/1AS52tKXzT/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
It looks like you're definitely right about the location, Ryan Tucker - thanks for the identification and tracking down that photo!
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks for your comment, www.flickr.com/photos/186088626@N04 - it looks like Ryan is correct about it being NSCC, but the entrance in the photo does resemble the one at the old library on Spring Garden Road, so great guess!
