Downtown Halifax Photos

Killed an hour roaming around downtown Halifax today taking a few random pictures of some of the goings-on.

The Herald Building continues to come down and HMCS Vancouver left port while a large cargo vessel arrived.

The old Nova Scotia Power building is quickly becoming the new Nova Scotia Power building.

1. The first three photos are of the Chronicle Herald building.


2. On Market Street above the former site of Midtown Tavern.


3. At Argyle and Sackville Streets.


4. This is the Roy Building on Barrington Street.


5. And the Shaw Building at Duke and Hollis.


6. Georges' Island and HMCS Vancouver.


7. Nova Scotia Power's Lower Water Street Relocation.

Historic Properties (Again)

Following a walk around the Chronicle Herald Building at Argyle and Prince, I walked over to Duke and down to the Historic Properties where buildings are being demolished or re-purposed, making way for the Waterside Centre development.

1. Imperial Oil Building on Upper Water Street


2. Almost totally gutted inside leaving only the facade at street level.


3. Harrington MacDonald-Briggs Building on Hollis


4. Also on Hollis Street, the Harrington MacDonald-Briggs Building from the side.


5. And again, the Harrington MacDonald-Briggs Building on Upper Water Street.


6. Fishwick & Company Building. It looks empty on the inside but mostly intact with the exception of it's roof... which is gone.


7. Shaw Building at Duke and Hollis. Like the Fishwick Building above, the Shaw Building appears empty but intact with street level windows covered.


8. And, not in danger of a wrecking ball, the Morse's Tea Building.

After class on Monday I made my way from the Medjuck Building on Spring Garden Road to Halifax's Historic Properties.

Along the way, I stopped at Argyle and Prince to observe the demolition of the Chronicle Herald Building.
