East side of Pleasant St. (now Barrington St.), south of Morris St.

from Halifax Municipal Archives

Ryan Tucker said:
Looks like it could be the east side of Barrington Street (just south of Morris Street), around 1277 to 1253 Barrington. 1253 & 1259 are still pretty distinct buildings, and 1273-77 Barrington Street (Retrieval Code 102-39-1-512) looks like it could be building on the left.
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Thanks for your identification, Ryan Tucker! The buildings in the photograph have definitely changed quite a bit over the years so it's difficult to be 100% sure, but it does look like you're correct about the location based on the appearance of the surrounding buildings. I've updated the description in the database with the new information - thanks again!

Cowie Falls dam?

from Halifax Municipal Archives

Abbie Hudson said:
Tricky one... looks like it could be the Cowie Falls dam in Milton? Here's a picture: www.hippostcard.com/listing/cowies-falls-milton-nova-scot...
Halifax Municipal Archives said:
Incredible sleuthing, www.flickr.com/photos/202763587@N04/. Water levels do change a lot around dams, so a definite possibility. According to the Nova Scotia Water Control Structure Database, Cowie Falls dam was built in 1929. The clothes on these gentlemen look a little earlier than that, perhaps?

Damaged by someone's upper chest?

Jazz Guy possibly. My friend hit a big tree when he fell asleep and his wheel looked very similar.
