7 Robinson Ave., Robinson enclave, Sandy Hill

Two pictures, taken 100 years apart. The B&W comes to us via history.ottawaeast.ca and is labeled "11 Robinson Ave. c1915" although I have every reason to believe that it is in fact #7. Construction was likely in the 19-aughts, one of, if not the first occupant being Albert Pranschke, a German immigrant labourer. The photo may have been taken by James Ballantyne.

My snap was taken with an iPhone 5 on Nov. 30th 2015.
