Image featuring the Kincardine Post Office on the corner of Queen Street and Market Square north, Kincardine. Photographer is looking in a southern direction. The building is decorated with various flags - they include the White Ensign (white flag with a red cross and the Union Jack in the upper right corner) visible on the left side of the picture; the Union Jack, visible on the front of the building and; another flag that appears to be the Canadian flag, prior to 1965.
