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.

Identified! Corner of Vernon and Pepperell Streets looking north to Quinpool Rd.

    The car is a 1964 Chevrolet.
  • Cara MacDonald said:
    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)

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!
