    Bert Cooper was my uncle. I remember the stuffed bear, Cubby, in his livingroom. I have old pics of my Mom, Jean, with Cubby. I have postcards of Uncle Bert at the pool and him wrestling the bear. According to my Mom, people told him he was crazy to build an outdoor pool !

Corner Sackville and Hollis Streets (north-east corner)

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • James White said:
    Hollis Street runs north-south so the sides of the street should be east-west. This view is taken from the southwest corner of that intersection, looking northeast. Don Schelew's dry cleaning business (139 Hollis) and Fader's Pharmacy (141-43 Hollis) are listed in Might's 1950 Directory. 'The Hollis' hotel is on that corner today.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Thanks for the correction James White We've changed the description here and in our on-line database to note the photo shows the east side of Hollis, not the south.

    Just wondering if you have any information about the old address is 92 Hollis St. I believe it was a boarding house and possibly could’ve been used for seniors Especially veterans I have some documentation saying that people who live there were employed at Russell House. I would appreciate any information. My great aunt Isabella Kennedy was the proprietors of Russell House. Hoping someone can help me thank you Linda kennedy

    Linda Kennedy Hello Linda! I've looked through our Halifax City Directories, but the earliest mention of a 92 Hollis Street is for the Maritime Telegraph & Telephone Company at 88-92 Hollis, and it looks like that address later became 1520 Hollis before being disused. I also looked through our building permits however I wasn't able to find any permit referencing a boarding house at the address. This is a link to our database if you have any more keywords you would like to use to search with, archive.halifax.ca/archive/final/portal.aspx, and feel free to email us if you'd like to discuss this further (archives@halifax.ca).
