Maybe I'll make an annotated version sometime. There are a lot of interesting details. If you look closely near the foot of Sackville Street for example you can see one of the archways that used to exist along the waterfront. I believe there was also a stone one around what is now the Historic Properties area.
A couple of other landmark buildings that are now gone are the Custom House at the foot of George Street and the city market building on Market Street. The building at the corner of Hollis and George was the Victorian-era Royal Bank HQ. You can also see the "pentagon" building at the end of Granville Street.
