Thanks for some more great images and points to ponder, ODMark.
One of the few images I can recall seeing from inside North Street Station, pre-Explosion, is this image from Canadian Museum of Science and Technology. The shot is obviously taken inside the trainshed; I don't believe I've ever seen a photo taken inside the main portion/waiting areas (or "head house") of North Street station.

The train on the left is the Dominion Atlantic's luxury limited, the
Flying Bluenose, which connected Halifax to New England-bound steamships at Yarmouth. The photo was reportedly taken around 1912, five years before the Halifax Explosion.
Of course there are several extant photos taken of the trainshed following the Explosion and the collapse of the roof, where the various architectural features are visible.
