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.

Is it the Halifax Infirmary on Queen St, Halifax being built?

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.

The Glace Bay Hotel on Union Street according to these Facebook pictures: www.facebook.com/VintageCapeBreton/photos/glace-bay-hotel... and www.facebook.com/groups/2348963930/posts/10158192218658931/

I tink thats SMU

Thank you for the suggestion, Luke Elwood! I'm not sure the pedway matches the one I was able to see is at SMU, but after looking into it some more, I think this may be the old NSCC building on Bell Road. The windows seem to match those in this photo: .

thanks :)
