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.
