Click on the picture to return to Last Trip: The Death of Alfred Bonenfant.

Above and below: Two photos showing cabs on the Central Post Office stand where Alfred Bonenfant was parked on the evening of June 11, 1908. He could have driven down either Sparks Street (left) or Wellington on his way to Hull. The space between the two converging bridges over the Rideau Canal (Sapper's Bridge, left, and Dufferin Bridge) was paved over in 1912 and is now part of Ottawa's Confederation Square. The post office was demolished in 1938.

Dept. of Mines & Technical Surveys / Library and Archives Canada / PA-034058). Both photos were taken after a fire in 1904 and subsequent renovations which added a storey and altered the building's roofline.
