Last week we shared this photo with you:
Here’s what we know about this photo, taken by Annabelle Studio, courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives:
The newest car, third on right, appears to be a 1947 Chrysler.
In 1931 the Israel and Morris Ginsberg sold the Snyder block to Bracebridge businessman G.W. Ecclestone, who opened a hardware store. It can be seen on the left.
In 1944 Stan Gibbs and Lloyd Chantler took over the grocery department of the Huntsville Trading Company. It can be seen to the right of Ecclestone Hardware.
In April 1942, the Ginsbergs remodelled the front of their dry goods store, the Huntsville Trading Company, which was thereafter known as the log-front store. It is the store with the upper awnings on the left. In 1949, the Ginsbergs sold the Huntsville Trading Company to Mr. Harry Silvert.
The town hall with clock tower was officially opened July 1, 1927.
The Capitol Theatre seen to the left of the town hall was relocated to 8 Main Street West in November 1948. In 1952 the old Capitol Theatre
became a bowling alley.
This photo was likely taken between 1947 or 1948.
