It definitely was a transition period, much like those shots of the Cogswell area during the 50's and 60's. The waterfront plan was to clear out the old industrial buildings and replace them with buildings like the Law Courts, Maritime museum, Purdy's, and so on. For a long time there was very little demand for residential along the waterfront.
