Given location of the find, could possibly be The Memorial Hall on Lloyd St.
When was the photo found?

It was found 18 months ago, the frame was broken and the glass smashed. :(

lol, the glass jar appears to be the rim of the man seated behind the table's sleeve  ::)

The one thing that does strick me is how many of the older men  have full beards!  almost like a a convention trying to select who is going to play Santa Claus at Christmas.

Its cold in that room, a couple of men of an overcoat or cloak on.

While browsing through the old posts of restorations etc. I came across this wonderful thread and am wondering if the photograph was ever identified.
It's a grad old photo and would look terrific on my wall.

Hi

I have managed to correct for the lean of the photo (perspective correction) and also cleaned up the tone and colour somewhat

Hope it is of use  :)

The mirror appears 3/4 possible 5 feet above the heads of the standing men, what possible vantage point would a mirror placed so high achieve?? ;)
