Wayback Wednesday: Gravenhurst 1890

This photo comes from the Old Ontario Series.

After the devastating ‘great fire’ of 1887, which destroyed much of the business district and many homes, this photo captures the start of the rebuilding process. In the background, you can see the tall structure that served as the town hall and fire hall, which also faced destruction in 1897.
