Extent and medium
This series contains mainly photographs of historical buildings and streets in Toronto but there are also images of Montreal, San Francisco, Quebec City and other locations in the United States. Most were probably taken or collected by Acland and relate to his involvement in the Canadian Inventory of Historic Buildings and the Royal Canadian Institute of Architecture Committee on Preservation of Historic Buildings.
Also included in this series are Toronto streetscapes taken by A. J.H. Richardson for the Canadian Inventory of Historic Buildings as well as photos originating from the Toronto Historical Board (photographer unknown). It is possible Acland was collecting these at the time of his death in 1976 to write a history of the house and street.
