Names do not agree with other 1895 group, P15-24. Standing: left to right: Captain Johnson MacKenzie, George (Smooks) Darlington.

According a pencil inscription au verso: Standing: left to right: Joe McMinniman (Tanker), Art Blackner [Art Blackman?] Seated, left to right: Lud McSorley, Johnston McKenzie, George Darlington [aka Smooks Darlington]. There is an au verso pencil inscription showing all these names, but some are difficult to make out and it is therefore worth looking at the original.

More specifically, this fire station is now (as of 2021) a private residence located at 294 University Avenue.

Item - 1905-1924
P15\29
Newspapers from 1890 onwards report Rutter's position as Captain Harry Rutter, but by May1898, Rutter had become Assistant Chief. By 1905, Rutter is made chief engineer. This is likely his portrait he had taken on the occasion of his appointment. Rutter was also an avid curler, especially between 1900 and 1910.
