In any case, it wasn't all rotten wooden slums:
Every building in this shot is gone, save for the one at the far left, and every one would have been worthy of preservation. But: DRINKING DENS! |
Wow, if retained, this could have been an iconic Halifax building. Not quite NYC's flat iron, but a similar design concept, obviously. A building designed to connect an important intersection.
