"A friend
thinks that this photograph is of either the back of Dalrymple
Place, or, the back of a stair in Prospect Street."

"Prospect
Street, like most of Arthur Street, was about five to six flights
of stairs. I should know as I sold broken sticks to people
when I was wee.

In the photo
above, the building is only 3 flights, so I would guess it was
Dalrymple Place. The hooses are wee compared to Arthur
Street.

We
still don't know whether the photo is of Dalrymple Place or not;
but Dalrymple Place is certainly closer than Prospect Street to
the area where the rest of the photos in this St Leonard's series
were taken.
