Archaeological Resource Impact Assessment Pre-development Assessment Spring Garden Road/Queen Street Public Lands Plan Figure 3.2.3-2: The 1784 Blaskowitz map showing Area C. During a short time, Pedley’s Fields began to disappear as new streets were laid, and that which was bounded by Spring Garden Road, South Park Street, Queen Street, and Morris Street, was know as Schmidtville. By 1862, the entire area was becoming densely populated and had residents on every street 36 . The 1878 Hopkin’s Land Atlas confirms this trend only a decade later, with homes and outbuildings covering every lot (Figure 3.2.3-3). The panoramic view of Halifax drawn in 1879 shows homes completely dominating the study area, including a curious building which appears to be sitting in the middle of Rottenburg Street, later renamed Clyde Street (Figure 3.2.3-4). Schmidtville contained a high proportion of skilled craftspeople during the height of its popularity from the 1830s to the 1860s, and these included coopers, sailmakers, and carpenters 37 . By the early 20 th century, Schmidtville was considered a slum. In 1947, residents of Rottenburg Street were sensitive of their streets name considering the neighbourhood and 36 PANS Card catalogue, Halifax 31. 37 Historical Houses 1980.

Eventually Clyde Street was chosen but perhaps not immediately implemented as indicated by the use of Rottenburg in the 1951 fire insurance plans (Figure 3.2.3-8). Sometime between the 1950s and 1970s, the end of the block bounded by Clyde, Birmingham, and Dresden Row was demolished to make way for a parking lot, with the second block bounded by Clyde, Birmingham, and Queen Streets, demolished shortly after.
