Garry Street, Winnipeg, Man.

Garry Street, Winnipeg, Man.
Interesting Valentine & Sons card showing Garry Street in Winnipeg, looking north to (and beyond) Portage Avenue. On the right the tall building is the Garrick Hotel, with the small building farther down (which is still there as well) -- the Inglis Building (or Northwest Commercial Travellers Building) was built a year or two later on the site that in this image is occupied by the Angelus Cafe. In the distance one can see the tower of the Maltese Cross Building. The Bank of Nova Scotia appears to be complete at left (the white building) -- this suggests that the image dates from 1911 (plus or minus 1/2 year). The Valentine serial number is 107,228.

I use a b & w of this image on my historic hotel pub crawl. if you look on the face of the Garrick Hotel today you can see where the decorative crown and the small balcony (I think they were sometimes called a "canary") were just hacked out of the facade at some point.
