Another pic from the Municipal Archives of the corner of Hollis Street and Buckingham Street, with Granville Street in the background. Today, that section of Granville is the Granville Mall and the main building in the photo is the one with the "Welcome To Historic Properties" sign on it.



Search for "Hollis St. [corner of Buckingham St.?]"

To make it more obvious:


Compare it to the early 1960s map:
