WP1975 WPG - MAIN ST. WINNIPEG (LK S ACROSS CITY HALL SQ)

WP1975 WPG - MAIN ST. WINNIPEG (LK S ACROSS CITY HALL SQ)
POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Unposted, but the AZO stamp box had known usage through 1904 -1917.

Publisher / Photographer: Meyers Photo, Winnipeg

Notation: Message on reverse reads; "A nice view of part of Main St. You can see the Fort Garry Hotel in the distance. This picture is taken from the City Hall square at the foot of William Avenue."

Of particular note in this image: The Volunteer Monument in the front left side with the Confederation Life Building behind it, Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Monument in the bottom right corner, and a rare image of this gentleman watering the flower beds with a hose.

Wow...that's actually quite a rare one, especially with the Fort Garry showing up like that. Pretty much the end of the RPPC view card era -- some time in 1913, I'd guess.
