does 50 argyle still exist

Hi
This forum is new to me. I have quite a few old postcards addressed to
50 Argyle Street, Halifax. Most of the cards are dated 1909. Can
anyone tell me if this address still exists. If you have a photo, that
would be great. I have relatives that came from there many years ago.
One was a undertaker because I have his pass for the explosion area.
Thanks

Very interesting.

Here is a excerpt from the 1878 Atlas of Halifax that shows a 51 Argyle Street, but no 50. It looks like there is a hotel and carriage factory where 50 would be.



This address is on the block where a new convention centre is being planned. The Entire block is currently vacant, so I think it's safe to say that the 50 Argyle no longer exists.

Here is a link to the entire 1878 atlas if you are interested.
