Possibly identified! 59 Lucien Drive, Dartmouth looking north

from Halifax Municipal Archives

• Michael Dennis said:

  This is really tough one, but my best guess is 59 Lucien Drive, with part of 57 also visible. These houses are quite unusual with their shallow roofs and lack of a brick chimney. Although its siding has been changed, the spacing of the windows and door matches that of 59, and the lay of the land seems correct, with the upward curve of the as-yet-undeveloped road in the foreground and the elevation dropping off at the back toward the north end of Settle Lake in the right background, and possibly the Mount Edward reservoir visible on the ridge in the distance.

• Halifax Municipal Archives said:

  Good deductions Michael Dennis , We'll leave it at possibly identified until we have more confirmation, as Lucien Drive is quite aways from the other East Dartmouth development photographs that were on these strips of negatives.

  Thanks to Aaron Emm on Facebook post, who recognized these walls from the Citadel. Another photo that was labelled shows the same firefighter in a nearby image: gencat.eloquent-systems.com/halifax-municipal-archives/pe...

Identified! Sailboat, Lake Banook

from Halifax Municipal Archives

• Taylor MacIntosh said:

  I believe this is Banook Lake. I think you can see Banook Canoe Club and Oakwood House on the right and an ice house where Senobe is today towards the left. archives.novascotia.ca/connors/archives/?ID=397
