Smith Township, 1873

Street, c.1875.
This interesting view from the corner of George and Murray shows St.
Paul’s and Central School as they looked in the early 1870s.
The large family of William Yelland (1832-1920), the successful
carriage maker and later mayor (1896-97),
provides the nucleus for the group portrait.

this location, 462 George Street, for 40 years from the 1850s to the 1890s.
