The aerial photo was taken around 1948, because Third Avenue has not been extended south of "A" Street.

Don Dube emailed me to say that his parents lived in this house from 1945 to 1948. In the mid-fifties, when this picture was taken, the little house was repudited to be the location of a local bootlegger and private gambling table.

In this picture, taken August 2001, the little house was supplanted by another small building.

This picture was taken in front of the Lakeview Hotel in 1953. The white building is the Turcott Building. The next building is Lotoski's Restaurant. If you look carefully on right of the picture, you'll see the Roxy Theatre is under construction.

This picture, taken August 2001, illustrates the changes that have occurred over the last 48 years.

This is another view of Broadway Avenue taken from the front of the Lakeview Hotel.

This picture was taken at the intersection of Highway 101 and Broadway in about 1961. Broadway was the first paved street in town. A paved circle route existed along Broadway to Mackay Street, then to Third Ave rolling around to Broadway at the United Church. The Texaco station is on the corner of Broadway and Main. Next to the Texaco was Eli White's house.

This picture, taken August 2001, shows that the lane to Broadway, south of the Mission Road has been closed. The Esso gas station has since been removed.

This picture of Broadway Avenue was taken in front of the Lions Beach in the late 1950's. The white building on the right side of the picture, used to be the Public Library.

This is the approximately the same location as the previous picture in June 2004.

This picture was taken at approximately where the present day Royal Bank of Canada is, on the corner of Caverhill and Broadway.

The date of this photo is thought to have been taken around 1940. It was taken at approximately where Ganley Street and Broadway Avenue intersect. The first white house on the right belonged to the Arnott family. It was demolished in the early sixties. The next white house belonged to the Lotoski's and still stands. The building on the left is the original schoolhouse. It is now part of the Township office building.
