Craswell Portrait Studio fonds

  • CA PCA Acc2843
  • Fonds
  • [1924-1981]

The fonds contains the negatives of the business from the period from 1924 until 1965. The bulk of these are wedding and portrait negatives but also included are groups such as graduation classes, city council, sports and other organized groups and some images of buildings and activities. Some additional negatives (including glass plates) may date from the operations of the Bayer Studio and those in the 1980s appear to have been taken by Gordon Craswell. Also included are a small quantity of contact prints, especially for the scenic views taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Three reels of 16mm motion picture film include a wedding and the installation of the Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Charlottetown. Textual material consists primarily of letters of appreciation which were originally housed in a scrapbook.

St. Eleanor's jail and courthouse photograph

  • CA PCA Acc2960
  • Collection
  • [ca. 1864]

This fonds consists of one photograph of the St. Eleanor's jail and courthouse, ca. 1864.

In 1833, George Tanton was given the contract for the construction of a 3 story wooden structure to serve as the St. Eleanor's jail and courthouse. Twice annually (the first Tuesdays in June and October) a judge would travel from Charlottetown to St. Eleanor's to hold court sessions. These sessions lasted seven days. Open oral elections also took place here and often became very rough affairs. After the construction of a new jail and courthouse in Summerside in 1876, the St. Eleanor's structure was torn down, despite a petition that the establishment be appropriated to the community.
