Exploring Photos with the NOTL Museum: A bird’s-eye view

Here is a postcard, dated circa the First World War, printed by a local publisher named Frank H. Leslie. It is a bird’s-eye view, taken from the Court House on Queen Street, showing the bell tents of the overseas forces at the Niagara Training Camp on the Commons. The large building in the centre is the back of the museum’s Memorial Hall building on Castlereagh Street. Next door is the Carnochan house and in behind is the barn of John Carnochan, a former local carpenter who had a hand in building many homes in our town.
