goldie's update today.
He asked me to post for him.
goldie is a member of the Photographic Historical Society of Canada. An article from their 2003 Journal reported the discovery of the the photos below:
"This amazing, huge panorama of Niagara falls was discovered during renovations in that attic [of the Ontario Legislature building] in 2003.
The Niagara scenics are credited to William Thomson Freeland. One photo, dated November 1, 1912, shows the area under a cover of snow; the
other, dated June 1913, was taken in the spring or summer. Both photographs bear an inscription that reads in part, "The Largest One-Piece-One-
Exposure Photo Enlargement iin the World."
The picture is supposed to be at the Ontario online archives but a link given in the article is dead.

I undertook a search of the archives but had no luck. Someone else reading this should try, your luck may vary from mine.

There are reduced size copies of the restored panoramics in the tunnel that connects the Whitney Block to the main legislative building.
