St. Mary's Church - Walkerville - c 1905
March 27, 2015
I like this postcard view from Walkerville, looking south on Devonshire Rd towards, what was then the brand new St. Mary’s Church. While it’s a pretty common view, it’s a rare one, where you can line up the view and it looks almost identical a century…

It was horribly remodeled…
