Postcard of the Main Street of McGee in 1917 showing a 3-storey hotel with a group of men on the sidewalk. The men are dressed in suits with white shirts and ties and hats. There are 2 cars of the period on the street. The Canadian Grain Co. elevator is in the background.
These postcards are printed photographs (not real photo) images of the University of Saskatchewan campus, and Saskatoon, taken during the 1940s. The postcards have not been used: each is identified with a “negative number” on the back, although the photographer is not known. It is assumed these were a reference set, from which orders for more postcards could be made. They are in pristine condition and provide exceptionally clear images of early University buildings, such as the original Veterinary Medicine building and the student-built “New Medical College,” as well as rare images of Saskatoon, including the Bessborough Hotel gardens and views of bridges from the road.
