Identified! Tenement building on Market Street

    Goodness; about to topple over?
  • Steve Skafte said:
    No, it's just taken at a bad angle.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    You are probably right, Steve Skafte - but many of these Works Department images were taken by building inspectors documenting unsightly premises... This building most probably no longer exists because they started enforcing Ordinance 50 requiring upkeep of buildings.
  • Ryan Tucker said:
    "A Redevelopment Study of Halifax, Nova Scotia 1957" (Retrieval Code 711.45 .S8 v.1) refers to it as "TENEMENT BUILDING IN MARKET STREET" on page 14 (PDF page 25).
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Good catch, Ryan Tucker! It looks like we did note the study and that it was possibly on Market Street in the database description and forgot to note that here - we will go back in and make it clearer that we do think it is Market Street. Thank you for the identification!

Clyde St. south side between Birmingham and Dresden Row

  • C B said:
    This is Clyde St formerly Rottenburg
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Right you are, C B - thanks! This was confirmed via email by Schmidtville resident and heritage activist William Breckenridge, who notes he now lives in one of these houses. According to neighbourhood stories, the 3-story house is 18 Clyde Street which was demolished in the late 1950s after the 3rd floor collapsed with a baby still in its bed!

Identified! Looking north on Vaughan Ave. near the intersection of Bayers Rd.
