New Branch will offer seven-day service, including Sunday hours.

A multi-photo document page prepared by Archaeological Services Inc features five colour images documenting the architectural elements of a large heritage stone institutional facility. The top photograph shows the expansive north elevation of the grand stone building under a partly cloudy sky, featuring its green-patinated copper roof and central cupola tower. The remaining four panels provide detailed close-up views of specific architectural components, including the tall, square stone bell tower, rows of small roof dormers beside a brick chimney, a triangular gable end with a semi-circular ventilation louver, and an intricate close-up of the metal soffits and fascia boards, with each frame accompanied by an explanatory figure caption dated 2019.
