1929: 2090 GREENWOOD AVENUE; AS IT WAS

This exquisite photo from 1929 shows the original open areas around today's Hamilton municipal building. Note the vacant lot on the Ward Avenue area, and also the very mysterious left foreground which shows rows of a garden, probably the nursery that was behind the property. The mysterious white "wall" looks to be some sort of protection from the weather.

Enlarging the photo shows a very long glass greenhouse. Later a retail sales building was built to the right of the muni building - Clark the Florist. Later that became the township office for marriage licenses.
