Re Clappison
I wonder if the Cut was quite new at the time of that postcard. You can also see Old Guelph Road (probably just Guelph Road at that time) winding its way up the escarpment. |

Just a neat old picture: But the snow ... BRRRRRRR

Wonder if people back then were grumbling "damn those trolleys and their own right-of-way!" :)

A Possible Treasure Trove
Hi all ...
In my now obsessive quest to find old images of Hamilton, specifically a clearer image of The Lyric Theater in Hamilton I happened onto this site. I am sure they are all copyrighted so I will just post the link to the page. I have not even started to look through these yet but please enjoy along with me. Not sure if this page has already been posted or not. http://preview.hpl.ca:8080/Sites/ On the page at the top left just type in Hamilton in the search bar. Cheers |
Ferguson and Foster
Hi all just wondering what this building used to be ...

A water pumping station servicing most of lower central/west hamilton. They just built a new one behind it.

A "Muvee" I made
Hi I quickly put this together this morning. I will do a better job when I have more time. Pictures of a dying and then dead grand old theater.
http://youtu.be/WSzqiLSm00Y Born 1913 Died 2010 Grand old theater in Hamilton Ontario built in 1913. The song playing in the background is by Henry Burr called "Last Night was The End of The World" and was in the top 10 during this year. The images are from a website online and no copyright infringement is intended. I would just like to publicly thank stalker and the others for taking these pictures for us so that The Lyric can live forever in our memories. The song repeats 3 times ... like a bell tolling. |

Of course looking at the picture again, Kresge's didn't open until 1930. Was there a building there before the store that was demolished and Kresge built new? |
Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking whether that 3-story building in the above picture was a Kresge's? I think it may have been or at least a 5 and dime store of some sort.

I've never seen a picture that predates Kresge's so I was a bit confused. :) Quote:

I was officially the last Kresge employee to leave the building in '94. I though we got all the old signs. :haha: Apparently not according to the picture in the article you posted. I remember finding signs that read hamburgers 15 cents, milkshakes 25 cents. |
