Hollis and Salter, 1915

From the McCord museum, http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/. On the left is currently a parking garage and then the empty United Gulf site. On the right are the Ralston Building and Bank of Canada Building, with small parking structures on either side. The two larger buildings in the photo on the right side are the Queen Hotel and Halifax Hotel, which I believe dated to 1830 or so and the establishment of the first steamship lines.



I also had an interesting photo of North Street before the construction of the MacDonald bridge but I can't seem to find it. If I do I'll post it.

Another photo I'm looking for is one of Sackville Street below Hollis. I think there used to be 5-6 storey Victorians there and they may have been demolished as recently as the late 1980s, although I have no idea what shape they were in back then. Bedford Row would look a lot nicer if those buildings and the Custom House were still around.

A photograph of the original Cunard offices would be interesting as well. I think they were a 3-4 storey stone building constructed around 1830.

Liverpool still has its Cunard Building:
