Custodial History

For custodial history see the collection level description of the Lawrence Stuckey collection.

Scope and Content

View of the southeast corner of Tenth Street and Princess Avenue, showing the Prince Edward Hotel (left) and an Imperial Oil Building (right).

Notes

The second floor of the Imperial Oil building became the Imperial Dance Garden in 1934. The small wooden post in a concrete foundation in the centre of the intersection was called a "Silent Policeman". You were supposed to keep it on your left while making a left turn. They took quite a beating. [Information in "Notes" provided by the Fred McGuinness collection (20-2009).]
