View looking south along Barrington Street in Halifax. Seems to be early 70s:

It is an interesting shot because the foreground buildings are completely gone today. It's too bad; I'm not really sure what was gained by clearing this area.
There was a lot of ambitious construction back then in a fairly small city. You can see Barrington Tower there and Fenwick had been built too, so around 1970, Halifax already had a 20 storey office tower and a 30 storey apartment tower.
The building you can just see on the corner of Barrington and North was spectacular:

It would have been quite the corner if these buildings had survived with the bridge built nearby:
