Nova Scotian Hotel, South End train station, and ocean terminals, 1931:

Demolition underway for the Cogswell interchange, 1960's. You can see some of the buildings that were later torn down. One of them looks like it's built out of ironstone and granite like the Jerusalem Warehouse or Keith's Brewery; it was probably from the 1800-1830 period, while the 5 storey building looks like other surviving buildings from the 1850's.

Not a photo, but these drawings of the 1895 drill hall are great. This was an early building with steel truss construction that allowed for larger interior spaces than were previously possible (the building is a national historic site today):
