No real info on the back of this one. It simply reads: “Scene at Windsor, Ont. Canada”, it’s dated May 26, 1925. Probably take from the intersection of what is today Ouellette and Riverside looking into Dieppe Park, this shot shows the Ferry Terminal at the foot of Ouellette and the retail space in the British American Hotel on the right. Interesting the note the crop marks on the shot for the portion to run in print.
This is the photo as it would have appeared in print.

great shot- really catches people in action on old Ferry Hill-only ghosts at that site now!
Your probably right Uzzy
this might sound crazy but seeing how it's the 20's I wonder how many of the men in the photo are packing a pistol or maybe coming back from Detroit after delivering a couple bottels of liquor...just saying
...they're all on their way to catch the streetcar..
They have all just waited in line answering redundant questions from customs officers after disembarking the ferry. They are tired and want to go home. If you look at people's faces waiting in line at the bridge or tunnel to get home during rush hour you will see the very same expressions. Commuting sucks no matter what.
