I realize now that most of the hits to this post are looking for the phone number for Yummy Pizza. It's listed below and it is good.
Looking east from Dundas across Lansdowne in 1917. The building on the S/E corner is a bank.
For years afterwards it was the Dunlan restaurant and had a wonderful 1940's serpentine counter and several small booths.Scenes from David Cronenberg's
Naked Lunch were shot there in 1991.
Now it's Yummy Pizza!

A couple of recent photos while under renovation.
It appears that it was a music academy before a restaurant.
These last two photos are by

Looking north up Dovercourt from Dupont in 1911 at the level crossing.
The same view 4 years later as the subway nears completion. It certainly seems that Toronto was able to accomplish a lot of public works projects within a short period of time with simple tools and manpower back then. I wonder why we can't do the same thing today. The roadwork on Roncesvalles has taken forever and still not finished. In addition the pavement is a mess of potholes and patches, clearly a hazard for pedestrians and cyclists.
