Enlarge text: smaller | larger
The Duffin Block, has its connections to pioneer photographer
Simon Duffin and to the contraction boom of 1881-82.
Duffin came to the Red River area in 1872. He operated
from a small Main Street shop and business proved successful
enough to warrant the building of his own studio at Bannatyne
and Main.
