About this postcard

The view looks across Kempenfelt Bay toward Barrie, Ontario, with a rocky, tree-lined shore in the foreground and commercial blocks, church spires, and a tower along the waterfront under a cloudy sky. In the early 1900s Barrie was a small Lake Simcoe port, and the waterfront mixed lake traffic with the town's commercial life.
