Ouellette and Chatham – c 1930

A shot taken from the north east corner of Ouellette and Chatham, about 1930. The old post office is in view on the left hand side of the postcard. It would soon be demolished and replaced with the current Paul Martin Sr. Federal Building.

  • This is the second time I've noticed the traffic lights have a yellow-green-red order in these postcard pics. Was this the way they were designed or was it coloured that way by the postcard people? I once saw a pic of a shorter traffic light standard placed in the middle of the intersection at Tecumseh and Dougall near my old house. Was this how they did things away from downtown? The one above looks like it's on the sidewalk corner.
