Taken in 1912 this phot shows the James brothers (photographers) on their motorcycle, a Monarch, travelling down Major Street.
Right past these two houses seen one hundred years later....
The James Brothers seen here with their father.
The Flying Monarch.
This photo taken in 1911 on Major Street shows a group of boys playing what appears to be a game of "stagecoach". I think that the kid on top chose the horses.
Frank James at his butcher shop 1921.
495 Bloor Street in 1920 when it was a butcher shop.
2010, note the door to the left in both photos.
This little Ontario Cottage was on the lane behind 178 Lippincott. I don't know if it still exixts but will find out.
The back of the cottage seen from the laneway.
It's possible that this is the house with alterations...
Another house on the lane farther north.
From the laneway.
The S/E corner of Lippincott and Ulster in 1922 when it was a corner store.
2010 and no longer a store.
Looking south down Palmerston from Harbord in 1908 when these homes were brand new.
Again in 1920.
Ninety years later and not much has changed. A testament to the high quality of materials and workmanship put into these homes.
The N/E corner of Bathurst and College in 1919.
2010 and the bank remains without it's peaked roof and awnings.
Margeretta Street just north of College in 1914. This huge sink hole opened up and swallowed this delivery wagon. What happened to the horse?
The triangular lot where College and Dundas meet seen here in 1939, when it was an Imperial gas station.
2010 and still a gas station.
Another angle.
Obvious signs of structural damage. College street had just been extended from it's previous terminus at Lansdowne up to meet Dundas just before the bridge.
