DOLLY'S HOUSE
HISTORIC RED LIGHT TOUR
WHERE BOTH MEN & SALMON
CAME UPSTREAM TO SPAWN
24 CREEK STREET EST. 1919
Dolly Arthur bought this house for $800 and worked as a madam here until she was 72. Prostitution was illegal on land so they built Creek Street on stilts. It is $10 per person to tour this house. They have plaques and TVs in every room telling her story instead of a guided tour. The house itself is nothing extraordinary (except maybe for the shower curtain - condoms were embroidered into flowers), but it is still an interesting part of Ketchikan's history.
Single young men in Alaska had a different idea of after-work entertainment - hard liquor and a certain type of female companionship. These loggers, miners and fishermen worked hard in the woods, the gold camps or at sea. When they got back to town, Creek Street and its brothels were waiting.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

Brief History of Vancouver Pacific Train Station
With work completed in 1919, Vancouver station was designed in the grand Beaux-Arts style by architects Pratt & Ross. It is characterized by symmetry, monumentality and the use of classical features in design, massing and details.
Built from locally-sourced materials including: granite, brick and andesite, a volcanic stone from a quarry on Haddington Island off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island.
The signage on the building has evolved, and its first appearance (as “Canadian National”) in 1932 was one of the earliest examples of neon signage in Vancouver. This sign was replaced by the current “Pacific Central” in 1993, which reflects the change in use of the Station while reinforcing its historical associations.
Vancouver Station was designated a Heritage Railway Station by the Federal Government in 1991 under the Heritage Railways Stations Protection Act.
.The landmark was showing signs of water penetration and decay including mould and moss growing on the skin of the exterior, window damage, loss of mortar and shifting masonry.
The restoration of the Station included preserving, restoring and rehabilitating the station’s masonry and windows, extending the useful life of the building and preventing any interior damage.
All work had to respect and retain the defining heritage features of the building which meant a lot of careful planning and adjustments. No new holes could be drilled into the masonry, so the scaffolding had to be erecting using a system that did not rely on cables attached to the building. Instead the scaffolding used a pressure-system that “hugged” the building. It was both very safe and very effective, and eliminated the possibility of further damage to the landmark.

3. Hickey-Carson House
775 Dundas Street East (Built c1919)
The building was originally built as a residence by James Crawford in 1919, after the lot had been severed from the larger Gummerson farm in 1918. Crawford sold the house to Rose Hickey in 1920. Rose later married Dominick Carsoni. Dominick, who was born in Italy, worked nearby at the Cooksville Brickyard. He later anglicized his name to Dominic Carson. The house remained in the Hickey-Carson family until 1985, at which time it was sold and converted for commercial usage. The building is a two storey red brick structure with a wraparound porch on the front and side facades supported by round wood columns and the original balustrade. The adjacent Cedar Creek Lane is a remnant farm lane from the Gummerson-Simpson farm.

All Saints church in Kimcote sits in an elevated position by the roadside in the heart of the village. Most of the building is of 13th - 14th century date, the chancel being the earliest part with the nave, north aisle and sturdy west tower the result of slightly later modifications including the addition of the clerestorey (probably 15th century, contemporary with the nave roof within and perhaps the oddly recessed parapet of the tower, though this may also be the result of later rebuilding after the fall of its spire).
Within the church the hand of Victorian restorers is more evident, particularly in the furnishings and glass, though the medieval nave roof is handsome enough and the font is an intriguingly archaic piece of Gothic Survival dating from 1654. The most memorable features here are the windows, there are good windows by Kempe and Burlison & Grylls but best of all is the Arts & Crafts glass by Theodora Salusbury on the south side of the chancel.
Kimcote church is likely to be found locked outside of services but is worth getting inside if possible, especially if like me you admire good glass. Our visit was naturally on a Ride & Stride day / Heritage weekend in September (best day to explore this diocese's churches) though this also coincided with a prayer group meeting in the chancel which placed some limits on photography, but we were grateful to the people involved who were very accommodating in letting us explore and view the glass there.

Entitled: Natives At Breakfast, Movable Chow Shop, Canton, China [c1919] Keystone View Co. [RESTORED] I did the usual spotting, contrast, tonal corrections and added a sepia. However there are really serious limits that one can do when the original shot was set up with a single light source and no apparent or proper fill. The shadows in this case, seem to be deeper than the US national debt.
I just love these funny propped shots that purport to show the "real" Chinese slice of life. The funniest part is that there were probably some who believed these pictures wholeheartedly. A mixture of truth, probabilities, outright falsehoods, and a often a lot of the photographers' wild imagination, they're not only of historical significance, but begin to take on artistic value purely because of their sheer Kitsch.
That said, historically, street vendors did in fact sell hot food from either portable or rolling kitchens like this in the larger Chinese cities of the 1900's, so the image probably leans more to the truthful side than not. However I do question the dating of this image, which seems to be thematically similar to many that were produced by the BW Kilburn Co in 1901 (Kilburn unfortunately never issued sets of images). As Kilburn eventually closed its doors in 1909, its vast collection of 17,000 views and over 100,000 plate glass negatives was sold to Keystone View.

My own speculation is that Keystone then picked the best of each collection that they acquired and reissued them with new titles and dates; hence the production date of this image was relabeled as 1919.

History
The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. One such memorial was erected at Shenstone to commemorate the 24 men of the parish who died during the conflict. Following the Second World War a second dedicatory inscription was added to commemorate the seven local men and one woman who died during this conflict.

The church of the Holy Name in Manchester is one of the grandest Catholic parish churches in the country, a vast building considered to be one of the best works of architect Joseph Hansom and built 1869-71. The tower is a particularly distinctive landmark, it initially remained unfinished for some decades until the upper stage was added by Adrian Gilbert Scott in 1928, a remarkable design that evokes his brother's work in Liverpool. The interior of the church is hugely impressive, a vast open space under a vaulted ceiling and richly adorned throughout.
