      General note

      Photo caption from published photo [see 54-5970_001 for closest version]: "GUELPH FIRE RUINS: Smouldering ruins of the St. Stanislaus Jesuit Novitiate, near Guelph, are shown after fire gutted the stone and stucco structure, part of which dates from the 19th century. The pressure pumping system of the community was useless against the fire which also caused a big highway traffic jam."

      General note

      Photo caption from published version of 54-5970_002: "FIERY SILHOUETTE: Ruins of the Guelph novitiate stand in sharp relief against the night sky as flames razed the district landmark. The Jesuit community is located in Guelph township about a mile north of Guelph city limits."
