WP2101 WPG - ST. JAMES PARK (VIMY RIDGE PARK)

WP2101 WPG - ST. JAMES PARK (VIMY RIDGE PARK)
POSTCARD

Date: Posted August 7, 1912.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: So far, this is the only image of St. James Park that I have run across.

The City of Winnipeg only began purchasing lands for public parks in 1893. In 1894, 6 acres of land at Portage Avenue and Home Street were purchased for the site of St. James Park. In 1966 it was renamed Vimy Ridge Memorial Park.

Another mystery to solve. Early radio towers?
