William Street and Rosemount
"A postcard view of the intersection of William Street and Rosemount, circa 1920s. This lasercopy was donanted to the WHS by Gary Mauthe via Bob Ironside and Helen Hamilton." ~Martin Proctor
Roman Stone Company
"This is a scanned postcard that came to us from Gary Mauthe, via Bob Ironside and Helen Hamilton. This company later became Canadian Gypsum. The factory was situated on a pie-shaped piece of land between the CNR and CPR tracks and Oak Street. The site was divided into two businesses in 1910, as seen on the Goad's Atlas. One was the Roman Stone Company, which was closer to the Grand Trunk tracks (later CNR), and the other business was the Fielding Chemical Company. By the time the 1923 update of Goad's fire insurance plan of Weston was made, Fielding was no longer listed, and a new long building had been added to the north of the two earlier structures. A townhouse development on the south side of Oak Street currently occupies this site." ~Martin Proctor

Marching down Main Street
“This postcard photo shows the high school students marching down Main Street, likely coming via King Street. The postcard is undated but would be before the 1920s since Main Street (Weston Road) is still unpaved. The Central United Church Drive Shed is partially visible to the right.” ~Martin Proctor
Weston Road Trolley
“Here’s one of the old Weston Road TTC trolleys turning at the Blondin loop near the Bad Boy store. The road behind the trolley is (for just a short distance) Walsh. Wilson is a dead end before it reaches Weston Road. This image is from a postcard, "Weston Trolley - A -98630-D". Bad Boy used to be called Heather Hill Appliances.” ~Martin Proctor
