I liked that black and white one too, it shows how long it's been there (1907 is the date on the photo). Now I'm going to have to research Cindy's other question! Unless you find it first :) <br /><br />I'll attempt a guess without looking for the answer. Judging by the fact that there is very little around it in that black and white photo, I'd venture to say that it was a fire watch tower or some sort of watch tower for the river.Scott Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038955844293783102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626261588427018772.post-36881328071338255152010-07-23T15:50:55.978-04:002010-07-23T15:50:55.978-04:00Gentlemen, you are correct!

This is the old fire station in Campbellford. <br /><br />NOW, for the big important question: Why does this fire station have a tower that looks like a church steeple? What was that tower used for? <br /><br />(Hints: It's not just decorative, AND it's not for blowing the fire whistle from.)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833334788490148269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626261588427018772.post-19323696709324707452010-07-23T15:40:07.723-04:002010-07-23T15:40:07.723-04:00Scott -- Neat black and white of it!

I told him that his guess was correct. We are having a good time with your "What is it?" pictures. Your updates are now part of our everyday activities. Enjoying your trip.
