Minto Hotel, Grand Falls, NB
Item - 1900-1910
P9\8
Built by William Pirie early in the 1900’s, the hotel stood between Broadway and Sheriff Streets. It was later turned into a private hospital. In the 40’s or 50’s, a religious group took over the building and it became the Assumption Hospital, under which it operated until 1963. By 2001 a bicycle shop and a building supply depot are on the site. When the hospital was condemned, Fred W. Pirie Jr. donated seven acres of land for the Grand Falls General Hospital.
Isaac Erb fonds
Fonds - 1900-1910
P11
Isaac Erb (1846-1924) was born in Kars, Kings County, the son of John Erb and Mary Ann Morrell Erb. He married Frances Huestis and they had two children, John H. and Lavinia F. A professional photographer, his career spanned more than 50 years, from 1870 to 1924. Whether in the studio or on location, Erb’s camera captured the many facets of contemporary Saint John, and his work led him throughout New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Maine. The composition of his portraits and commercial photographs show the artistic temperament of the 19th century cameraman. This personal style continues well into the 20th century. His attention to detail and unique perspective on his subjects contributed in equal parts to his success in a business marked by transiency and brevity. By the end of his career he had produced more than 12,000 images, all of which he meticulously recorded in his logbooks. The approximately 3,400 extant glass negatives make up one of the most comprehensive collection of...

Adams, undertaker, followed by Neill's Hardware (the small white sign protruding from the end of the hardware store is for a hairdresser). In the same building as Neill's Hardware, the first sign above the doorway on the building appears to read "H. Rutter"; Henry Rutter was a harness maker.

St. Andrews collection
Fonds - 1889, [1911?]
P23
The majority of these photographs come from a book entitled, “St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada: A Photographic Souvenir, July 1889.” The photographer or photographers are unidentified.
It is probable that this book is the work of D. Will McKay (MacKay). McKay was certainly taking photographs in St. Andrews at the time (see Will McKay Fonds - P682). PANB holds a book of photogravures of St. Stephen which McKay published through the Albertype Co. (N.Y.) in 1896 (MC80/4025), and the N.B. Legislative Library holds a copy of his 1896 book of St. Andrews photogravures, also published by Albertype Co. (917.1533 M153). This confirms that D. Will McKay was in the business of making photographic souvenir books in the last decade of the nineteenth century. These two books were reproduced in half-tone, with some variation in page order, by Print’N Press Ltd., out of St. Stephen, N.B. sometime around 1980. PANB holds both reproductions (MC80/3074, MC80/3075).
There is a photograph (P23-08)...
