Additional Description: Captions: (background photograph) Trinity Anglican Church c. 1900.; 1) Germain at Princess looking north.; 2) Germain Street looking south.: 3) Celebrations on Charlotte Street.; 4) Queen Square.; 5) Water Street.; (map on left, English) Germain Street to Princess, known as the “Quality Block” was and still is the home of many small family owned and operated businesses. Each of their entrances along the street had, at one time, red carpet that represented “quality” and was a wonderful site to behold when looking from King Street down Germain. This mercantile pride is commemorated with a large “Q” in the brick sidewalks the logo of the Quality Block. (French) Soulignons que la partie de la rue Germain jusqu’à la rue Princess, désignée sous le nom de “Quality Block”, abritait et abrite toujours de petits commerces familiaux. Chacune des entrées avait autrefois un tapis rouge, indice de qualité, et donnait un coup d’oeil extraordinaire à partir de la rue King. Cette fierté mercantile se trouve inscrite sous la forme d’un “Q” dans les briques du trottoir du quartier.
