The Crown Lumber Company, affiliated with the Strathmore Trading Company and providing Strathmore with most of its building supplies.

The CPR Engineering Building, completed in 1910, once stood on this spot.

Behind the telephone exchange we can see that a hail storm has taken a shocking toll, knocking down a number of telephone poles here, in addition to many other buildings. The Memorial Hall is visible in both photographs and this photo was taken from the property of the Berry family.

A panorama view of Strathmore taken from the west, around Westmount School's playing field. While none of the buildings match up, the streets actually do ensuring that this is quite an accurate recreation of perspective. This shot is revealing in that at this early point much of the town has yet to be filled in. The Catholic Church at centre no longer stands, and neither does the United Church with the square tower just to the left of it. However the steeple at far left belongs to the Anglican Church, which does remain.
