W.R. MacAskill Photographs of Prospect

The following photographs of Prospect were taken by the famous Nova Scotian photographs Wallace R. MacAskill during the period 1920 to 1938. These photos were obtained from the Public Archives of Nova Scotia by Ed Rogers and were scanned by Doug Grant. These photos were originally posted to the website in 1999 and well before the trend of comparing old photos with current photos of the same spot Doug Grant did a before and after analysis of each photo, 70 years apart.
