For this week, Ric Hall has selected the photography theme of “RNWMP Depot Division images on postcards.” The colour was after the photograph was taken and was usually hand painted.
As the photographs illustrate below, many Depot buildings have come and gone. However, the “A” Block building and the Chapel remain the two primary historical buildings.
The original “A” Block was built in 1887. Current building was constructed between 1929 and 1943.
