On a Hillside North of the Harbour: Changes to the Centre of St. John’s, 1942–1987
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INtRoDUCtIoN 1For both visitors and St. John's residents under 40, the location from Carter's Hill to Springdale Street (from east to west), and from John, Central, and Livingstone Streets to New Gower Street (from north to south) is merely the site of City Hall, Mile one Stadium, the Fortis Building, and the Delta Hotel. 2 The area is less than one kilometre in length and less than 200 metres from north to south.It is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in St. John's.However, in 1945 this was not the case.This small geographical area was home to nearly 1,500 individuals -most of whom were working-class descendants of Irish Catholics who came to St. John's in the early nineteenth century. 3It was characterized as a "slum, " "congested, " or "Dickensian" by commentators from Newfoundland (Horwood, 1997) and elsewhere (Bland, 1946;High, 2010).Most of the area was on a hillside overlooking the wealthier water Street commercial district and harbour below; over the course of the first three decades after Confederation in 1949 the area was "blasted" and "bulldozed" in conjunction with rehousing the poor and urban renewal.This is a story of that transition.This paper has three objectives.First, although previous work on St. John's has provided solid documentation and analysis of the strategies connected with housing reform from the 1920s to the 1950s (see Baker, 1985; Collier, 2011a Collier, , 2011b;; Sharpe, 2012 Sharpe, , 2006 Sharpe, , 2005 Sharpe, , 2000)), what is missing is an assessment of the population in the "slum area" that was rehoused.we know almost

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
