Swamp Ward Map 1930's-50's

In the lobby of the Queen's University Archives at Kathleen Ryan Hall on the Medical Quadrangle, there is peace and stillness. And an interesting display in glass cases! Someone has worked very hard to map major employers, tire dealers, scrap dealers and even barbers in the Swamp Ward. On the other side of the map, is a legend for places of worship, shoe repairs, confectioners, bakers, grocers etc. All presented with tiny coloured numbers and hand-written. This is some interesting information all in one place - from an earlier time.
