Result: Dated
During research for 2016 temporary exhibition this photo was re-dated to 1927. The original attributed date of 1919 cannot be accurate as the Peace Tower was not completed until 1927. This photograph appears to show the dedication of Peace Tower and the inauguration of Dominion Carillon by the Prince of Wales on July 1, 1927.
