'Then and Now' was a Bay Road Home

The answer to this week's "Then and Now" historical photo was that it was a home on the northern end of Bay Road in Hamilton.

Our latest "" historical photo feature was a home on Bay Road in Hamilton.

It was 946 Bay Road. The home is still there today but does not have a porch on the front any longer. It is an apartment building today.

The woman in the photo was Eileen Waterhouse Poole and was taken in 1945.
