The Hotel Victoria near the intersection of Gore and Brown Streets in Westfort was one of the first to be established in Thunder Bay. This picture dates from 1875. Standing on the verandah are P. Robbin (proprietor), Father Richard Baxter S.J. (Jesuit Missionary to the Ojibway in the Lake Superior region), John King (merchant), Captain Marin, and Mrs. J. King. Note the steer laying on the street in front of the hotel.
