Here's a postcard of Chapel (Church) Street in Tignish - this comes from the McCord Museum website. http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/collection/artifacts/CP824?Lang=1&accessnumber=CP824

Below is a close-up look at one of the buildings on Chapel Street. This photo comes from the Prince Edward Island Public Archives and Records Office (PEIPARO) - an accession number was not provided.
I haven't been able to determine further information on this building. However, from observing the photo I see there are four sets of doors - likely one to the upstairs and the other three to individual shops. The building has a large central dormer on the front with round top window and gingerbread trimming. In the middle of the roof, being the focal point, is a tapered cupola topped with a railing and tall weather vane - there seems to be a clock on the front and round vents on the sides.

Below is another photo from McCord Museum's post card collection, this is St. Simon and St. Jude Roman Catholic Church 1906, also on Chapel Street. The church was built in 1859. http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/collection/artifacts/CP825
