Description

This photograph, taken in the early 1980s, provides a view of the south side of Queen Street, from Wellington to Church. Many historic buildings and businesses located in the downtown core are visible. These businesses include the Bank of Montreal, Guardian Drugs and the St. Marys Journal-Argus. A hitching post and water fountain can be seen in the bottom right of the image; these features are still located downtown to this day.

In the winter and early spring of 1982-1983, Randall Speller, a colleague of Larry Pfaff from the Art Gallery of Ontario, took a series of black and white photographs of houses of architectural significance in St. Marys. Larry Pfaff and several local friends who shared this interest in architecture took some additional photographs in a subsequent summer. This photograph is one of this series.
