Yes, it's the current IWK-VG block in the foreground then the Dalhousie Carleton campus behind that. I was surprised that the Forrest Building was already missing part of its tower. Also interesting to see another building to the right of the Dal Medicine building (not sure of its name) that is now connected to Tupper.

You can also see All Saints and maybe the old VG: https://archives.novascotia.ca/notman/archives/?ID=970

I've found pictures of the old poor house after it burned down, and the new poor house, but never the original before the fire.

Also you can see both older wings on Sacred Heart.

Another small mystery to me is why the mixed residential happened between Robie and Summer Street around Spring Garden Road. I would have also expected that to be common land.
