The Smith House, seen in this photograph surrounded by trees and a beautifully manicured flower garden, is a residence in Montreal's Mount Royal Park. Built in 1858 and purchased by the city when the ground was bought for the park's creation, the Smith House has been used for a variety of functions. It currently houses an interpretive center for the park as well as operating as the headquarters for Les amis de la montagne (The Friends of the Mountain), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the environment of Mount Royal.

Caption: "Traymore Hotel - Atlantic City," c. 1925. View of the Traymore Hotel on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The Art Deco-style Traymore began as a small boarding house, but a rebuild and enlargement after a storm in 1884 led to the building becoming Atlantic City's most popular hotel by the turn of the twentieth century. In 1906 the front tower was constructed, and the back, wood frame portion of the hotel was replaced with a concrete structure in 1914-1915. Patronage declined in the 1960s, and the Traymore Hotel was demolished in 1972.
