Also notable, the Assay office is labelled Dominion Of Canada, as this was only 40 years after Confederation. So many little details to date this. Amazing footage.
This will be pretty distorted by the lens, though. This is likely a very wide angle lens (based on the distortion of signage around the edges) to capture as much visual interest as possible, which makes things look a lot more spacious than they actually were. It was probably pretty bustling and dense. Cities built for walking were built densely!
