It is too bad that this image has postal inking on it. It is the only postcard image I have seen of the original (seemingly-wooden) All Saints Church at the intersection of Broadway & Osborne. At this time, Osborne Street ended at Broadway and this church stood at the north side of the intersection. In the early 20's the City decided to extend Osborne through to Portage Avenue - which precipitated the demolition of this church and the construction of the new (current) stone one somewhat to the west of the original site.

I assume that the large building in the back left is likely the McDonagh and Shea Brewery on Colony Street.
