Summary

The Victoria Square gardens, surrounded by wrought iron fencing, are viewed through telegraph wires producing an interesting effect. In the foreground cab horses are feeding from nosebags. The National Mutual Life building is seen on the opposite side of the Square in its original position on the corner of Grote Street. In 1979, the facade of this building and its original roof were moved 34 metres north to make way for the SGIC Building.
