Leave your guesses in the comments below, and try to guess the year as well.

Like I said, these ones were pretty easy. If anyone gets them all right, we’ll kick up the difficulty level a bit.

#1 – Standard Furniture, south side of Yates between Douglas and Blanshard. Burned down late 80’s, picture is from 1960.
#2 – Douglas and View, looking West. Late 70’s.
#3 – Wharf Street looking south form the bottom of Fort, around 1890
#4 – ….?
#5 – Hillside and Quadra, late 50s?

Wow, impressive Peter. I’ll post exact years early next week, but your locations, aside from the unanswered one, are outstanding!

Last piece of the puzzle: #4 is Victoria City Hall, 1895
