Front and Church/Then and Now


 A very early shot of the "Coffin Block".
2010.

And somewhere in between.

Front and Church/Then and Now

A very old photo (circa 1870) of front Street looking towards the St. Lawrence Market, which at this time was Toronto's first City Hall. Note the "Gangs of New York" style top hat.
A similar view in 2011.
Toronto's original City Hall (1845-1899) before it was re-purposed as the St. Lawrence Market.
The coloured centre indicates the remains of the original hall.

The St. Lawrence Market.

Front and Church/Then and Now

The south side of front from Wellington looking towards the St. Lawrence Market in 1915.
The same in 2011.
A composite of the two.
