That earlier Police Court & Jail was designed by Dalton & Eveleigh in 1903, and lasted only for nine years. Then the new Police Headquarters designed by Doctor, Stewart & Davie in 1913 was built on the same site – the one pictured in the Luxton SOS and CVA 447-63.

Yes Skip. It does seem that the photo is a bit skewed

By the way, the second photo has something perplexing on the right hand side. It looks like someone from the future sent a 1970s building to Cordova.

Love the architectural drawing you included. To see what is in its place is discouraging, to say the least.
