Note- I do not use any Prince Rupert Archive Photos
I am not affiliated in any way with the Museum and Archives there.

All Postcards below courtesy Grant Walker, CA

** New**
I have added "hotspots" on the Building Signs, that I can read.
 (note- some signs are illegible and no hot spot on them)
Also some of the buildings I have identified with a hotspot around them.
Note- Not all buildings are identified.
Move your Mouse over the picture, and you should be able to read
what the sign says, or the name of the building if there is a hotspot there..
If you add my site to "Compatibly View settings" under the "Tools" button, in IE
you will see the words appear as you mouse over the pictures.
It may or may not work in some browsers.

Another new word for this is called "Tagging" the picture
I am old, like these pictures, so "Hot Spots" is what I call them.

If you don't see any words appear on the mouse over,
 try clicking once on the sign or building, wherever a hand symbol appears,
and you will go to an index, below the picture, for the whole story.

Those using Touch Screens, sorry,
 you need to click to see the write up below the picture
Another reason I hate touch screens!

Hot Spot Locations in Picture Above


Grand Trunk Pacific Wharf and buildings, in foreground, are all gone,
today, 2016, is now the location of the
Kwinitsa Station.

 
GTPR Wooden Ramp
Located on the left, half way up, built down from the Bench area, and across the tracks.
My
Grand Trunk Pacific Page 2  shows views of this ramp.


Pillsbury House can barely be seen at the top end of the ramp.
Today this is on Bill Murray Drive.

The Rupert
Hotel, aka Hotel Prince Rupert can also be seen.


BC Govt. Court House
is visible

City Hall on Fulton St.


Grand Trunk Pacific Inn & Annex
note they had a walkway from the hotel down to the tracks
Location of this would be the back of the Rupert Mall.
Rupert Mall location would have wiped out a lot of historical areas.

I am an Amateur Historian, and Genealogist.
I use every source I can find, old newspapers, census, archives, etc.
I do a quick search for the names on these pages.
Therefore I do NOT profess to have 100% accurate information.
Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it takes me.

Duplicates online?

Reason- Most of these photos were commercial postcards,
and multi copies were made and sold.
All have different writing on the back is the difference.
I don't include all the backs to save bandwidth, but have them in my data.
