Questions about sketches
A reader, Stella Dyack, sent in these digital pictures of sketches that she owns. They were passed on to her but she doesn't know very much about them.
She was wondering if anyone had any idea about where the sketches came from. She believes they are of Hamilton. The one looks like it is the Desjardins Canal. And the other looks like it could be Gore Park. But the Cify Hall building in the background doesn't make sense. Maybe it is some other city. Does anyone have any idea?

The bridge shown is the Canadian National Railways bridge over the Grand River in Paris, Ontario. Here's a photo for comparison.

The bridge is also strikingly familiar to the Bridge at the caledonia dam.
(Also over the Grand River.)
Here is another photo for comparison.
Although the area has changed greatly over the years.

The photo is of Victoria Park in Brantford and the statue is of Joseph Brant
