Location of this Carleton Place Picture? Oh Where Can My Baby Be?

Photos from The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum

 

I photo shopped the picture and wondered if it could be Smiths Falls

This is an original photograph depicting a parade with a triumphal arch. But here’s the tricky part…. we are unable to determine if the photograph was taken in Carleton Place as the street is unrecognizable! The information we do have is that the photograph was taken by Peden‘s Portraits, between 1891-1893, and that in the bottom right corner of the photograph is a storefront window that appears to say “H. W_____ Jewelers.” Also, note the steeple-like building in the distance (top right)
Help us find out where this photograph was taken, Carleton Place or otherwise! If you want to take a closer look, drop by the museum today and see the original!-Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum

Here on Bridge Street?– the west side, between College and Emily/Elgin Street. No date, but c.1950. The occasion was an Orange Day parade, and landmarks include a barber shop, Chinese Laundry, the Roxy Theatre, and Carleton Lunch Bar.

Or on the left hand side here? Thoughts?
