Creeper is beginning to obscure the lettering on the front, but it was certainly large enough to have been easily spotted from some distance away. But most people would have recognized this imposing building on the Bank, anyway, from its sheer size. The senior staff and people running the hydro were unchanged from those who were there in 1906; Henry Challand was the managing director, Ernest Wilmot the secretary and George Harbison and Robert MacLelland were the two physicians. The card was posted 13th September 1927 Image kindly donated by Photo-Ark © 2003 Elsewhere on this website: 1.
