The corner of Du Portage and Perrault Street around 1926. The stumps have not been fully cleared from the lots and the streets yet, and several buildings are under construction. You can see felled timber, rocks, and building material scattered everywhere. In the middle, on Du Portage Street, you can see K. Joseph’s haberdashery and stockbroker Arthur E. Moysey.
