Does anyone know if a photo of 13 Francis Street exists?

Go to the street maps on Google and you will get a Picture of 13 Francis Street there.

How long ago are you looking for? Where about in Francis Street was no. 13 situated?

I'm not sure what you would be looking for in Francis street, but there are a few photos of the street in days gone by in the Johnston collection.

Just type in the search bar on the front page, Francis Street.

This address appears in a valuation roll as a house owned by the old
West Church and was situated on the Dempster Street side of church,
most of the Johnston collection shows from other side.;)

The second picture is up nearer the Gladstone Place end of the street known as East Banks.

Hoping for a photo circa 1910. Believe 13 Francis Street was near a church.

On the 1907 map their is a Mance shown on the corner of Francis street and Dempster street could this be no 13?

If you follow the link below you can just see the wall of the mance on the right hand side.

Found it at last.

Its shown on the 1965 map as No 13 its actually on Dempster street about 12foot away from No 51 which is still standing.

The entrance was from Francis Street.

I have found a photo of the back of the house copy it and blow it up you can see the rear clearly link below.
