Whig Up, Enginehouse Down

It's November, 1963 and this frame appears to show the demolition - two bulldozers and the rubble being hauled away by a dumptruck - of the limestone enginehouse located behind Kingston's Outer Station on Montreal Street.

This is from the first box of the Kingston Whig-Standard fonds at the Queen's University Archives. Having completed an interesting trip through the George Lilley Fonds - all 51 boxes of them - these 127 boxes(!) are next.

Less well-captioned but at least dated, and just as engrossing, if this initial frame is any indication, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
