   Amazing picture, to the west of Dock St was the Heaney’s storage building. The house at the corner of Dock and Dallas was owned by a Mr. Ketchel when I was a kid. The house to the east at Pilot and Dallas was built by Arnold and Irene Mann it is still owned by their daughter June. The building across the street was the Boys scout hall. (House there now) The house next to the hall was owned by Lila & Chess Torville, who was part owner of Oakland Fisheries where the Victoria Harbourside Hotel is now. To the north east side of Pilot, across the lane, was the Ponsford home 15 Pilot and next to that was my parents home 21 Pilot. In 2012 we raised the old house and built the current duplex (4 generations now on same property)

   Wonderful. James Bay before all the high-rises. Nice to see all the old houses, and Capt. John Irving’s beautiful home in Irving Park.

   I did not realize there was a gun position at the end of the dock. Great photo

   The large building by McDonald Park would have been a carpet factory- I think it was “Columbia Carpet”

     It was built in the early sixties by Pauline Schofield and her husband (can’t remember his name). I used to skate there. Not sure when they sold to the German community, which is now the Edelweiss but do know it was by the early seventies as my wedding reception was held there in May of 1974.

   It may be high altitude, but it captures pretty much all of the CNR Ogden Point terminal. Really great view….Thanks!

   Interesting Post For Me , Thanks . Too Bad the clarity wasn’t as good as some of the others.

     Yeah, clarity has a lot to do with altitude. As soon as the altitude of the plane goes up a bit, the clarity of the image drops way off. As you can see, the flying height of this one is a bit higher than the others.
