Winnipeg Buildings - Schools

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Note(s) on the back read; "All of the streets here are very broad. Lenore Street" "I'm gathering up all the stray cards & photos I can find, & I think they might interest you a little this the street (Lenore St.) I used to work on. Being all new houses & a nicer &newer part of the city, the roads were not finished then but they have been since and look fine. I marked the house I worked in. They all stand separate." At the far end of the block, where Lenore crosses Wolseley, is the north east corner of Laura Secord School. Of particular interest is that the original bell tower can still be seen. At some point in its history (in the 1960s, I believe) the tower was dismantled. Laura Secord School was constructed through 1912 - 1914, but the school was actually in operation beginning in August of 1913 with the 10 rooms that were finished at that point.That would indicate that this photo was likely taken 1913 or later. City records that show when Lenore street was first paved would be helpful in dating it more accurately.
