Need Help With Place Verification

by Laurel | February 25th, 2012

Yesterday I received e-mail from someone seeking help in verifying the correct location in the following images. So responses will be helpful to him. I was given permission to post these images, he is connected to the Gingras family.

High Street, A. F. Gingras ,Coffins and Baskets on arched sign, left.

The above image is believed to be on High Street, possibly across from the former Transcript building. Anyone know?

A.F. Gingras Livery Stable, left. A.F. Gingras, Undertaker on sign at left.

The above image is believed to be 47-49 High Street, looking for verification of this address. Love this image, looks like a funeral procession ready to begin.
