    Thanks Abbie Hudson. That is the same WWII post card. Wish we had a bit more info on who, why, when...

    The car is a 1964 Chevrolet.

    Corner of Cornwallis and Bauer looking up towards the Commons?
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thanks for another date verification Bill Jarvis!
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    That does look like the right distance down from the Commons, Cara MacDonald - but since the building on the corner is not the same as the row-houses there now, we can't be sure. Any other clues?
  • Ryan Tucker said:
    Looks like Vernon at Pepperell, looking north toward Canadian Tire at the corner, and Saint Joseph's Orphanage on the other side of Quinpool. Refs: Aerial overview of the city - Quinpool Road (Retrieval Code #102-105-1-49-1088-54) and Vernon St. [corner of Pepperell St.] (Retrieval Code 102-39-1-1272)
