It’s Wayback Wednesday, sponsored by Pharmasave Huntsville!
This is Goldie and Fisher’s store. Thomas Goldie and James Fisher operated their business where Pharmasave is today (and previously Eaton’s) where they sold a variety of wares including dry goods, groceries, clothing and boots.

Last week we shared this photo:
This is Huntsville High and Public School at the corner of Caroline and Centre streets, ca. 1918. The school was where the current Huntsville Public School playground is today. The school was designed by William Proudfoot and built by W.G. Hunt for a cost of $15,000. The 12-room brick building opened May 8, 1905. It was demolished in May 1967. All that remains today is the bell and bell tower, which rest at the entrance of Muskoka Heritage Place. (Photo and details courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives.)

Remember that building well… The side entrance became the main entrance with a pipe hand railing nearby, flag pole etc. Where I first froze my tongue to the cold rail, just to see if it was true. Ahh, childhood, where we do silly things. Further along Centre St. to the north you can still tell where the other side entrance to the addition was. Class pictures were on the Susan St. side in front of the Kindergarten class.
…But I;m not that old. :o))
