Sandwich and Ouellette - c 1928
October 30, 2015
A view looking east along Sandwich Street (today’s Riverside drive) just west of Ouellette Ave. It’s hard to believe that we still live in the same city today. So much has changed. With the exception of the one building that houses the Whiskey River next to the…
Hotel Dieu - c. 1925
