Description |
The Dr. W.D. Logie house at the corner of Christina and Davis, ca. 1910. Dr. Logie, born in Exeter in 1860, practiced in Point Edward until the tunnel was built in 1892. Then he moved to Sarnia and built this home, which he occupied until his death in 1925. He was M.O.H., Coroner, Alderman, and Mayor of Sarnia. His son, Dr. D. Logie, occupied the house until 1960 when it was demolished to make way for the new library. The automobile is a 1909 Ford. |
Provenance |
In 1947, the late H.F Holland reached out to the community to source and collect photographs of former teams and sporting events to be displayed in exhibition at the new Sarnia Arena. Mr. Holland was ultimately turned down for the display. However, he continued to gather materials with the encouragement and assistance of local commercial photographer Doug Paisley, who re-photographed the old pictures so the originals could be returned to their owners. The collection grew to include people, buildings, events and more, dating back to the mid 1800's across the County. For some of these original images, this may be the only remaining documentation of them. |
