Bloor and St. Thomas/Then and Now

A shot of the once famous La Provencal Restaurant located across the street from the equally famous Windsor Arms Hotel sometime in the 1970's. We shot an episode of
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues in both the restaurant and the Windsor Arms when they were both quite abandoned in the early 90's.

The N/W corner of Yonge and Hayter prior to the building of Eaton's College in 1920 or so.

St. Clair and Ford Street/Then and Now

The S/E corner of St. Clair and Ford in the 1920's prior to St Clair being widened.

Dufferrin and St Clair/Then and Now

The S/W corner of Dufferin and St Clair in 1911 when St Clair was still just a muddy road.

This could be the same building buried underneath years of renovations and additions.
The proportions are similar......
This photo from the archives from the same period is labelled Ossington and St. Clair
and indicates how far north of the city this area was.
