Subject:East Main Street Type:Still image Date:c. 1921 |
Description:Black and white photograph of a view East Main Street showing the Reeta Hotel under construction and Welland Fire Hall No. 1, c. 1921.
This photograph is especially notable for possibly being the last one of Welland Fire Hall No. 1: it was torn down in the spring/summer of 1921.
The photo was included in the 'Report on Survey of City of Welland', by Thomas Adams, Consultant, for Welland's City Planning Commission. His comment underneath the photo reads: "New Hotel and Picture House. Fire Station should be removed and open space created between Cross and Hellems along front of Court House."
"Thomas Adams was a prominent town planner in early-20th-century Canada. He influenced the adoption and amendment of provincial planning legislation modelled on the British example in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island... He was also a sought-after planner who provided advice on the design of urban landscapes in Canada and Newfoundland, and led the development of company towns and innovative public housing projects." - https://parks.canada.ca/culture/designation/personnage-person/thomas-adams [show more]
