Above:The scene of Alfred Bonenfant's fatal accident on Rue Du Pont (Bridge Street) about 20 years later. A streetcar is stopped at the terminus on the track that looped south from Rue Principale. The Ottawa House is at left under the Brading's Ale sign. The brown and yellow building is the Banque de Montréal, built in 1907. Below: Another photo taken sometime after 1907. The camera is at ground level and south of the Banque de Montréal (in the centre of the photo). A streetcar on the other side of the Rue Du Pont loop is passing the E.B. Eddy Co. office building, just where Alfred Bonenfant was struck by his cab. The Ottawa House is at the left edge of the picture. |
