On a Hillside North of the Harbour: Changes to the Centre of St. John’s, 1942–1987
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For 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. 3 It was characterized as a "slum, " "congested, " or "Dickensian" by commentators from Newfoundland (Horwood, 1997) and elsewhere 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.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
