TTC Garage at Howard Park Then and Now

Here's a TTC bus maintenance garage from June 1928 located on Howard Park
just east of Roncesvalles. Howard Park is named after John Howard who "donated"
High Park to the city in 1873
.
The same building today. Now surrounded by condos and
broken down cars. This entire block from Roncesvalles to Dundas is scheduled to fall in the next year for another massive condo complex.

Bloor and High Park/Now

This entire block of houses on the north side of Bloor, opposite High Park is slated for demolition. They appear to have been built between 1919-1920. The city won't issue a demolition permit until the developers present a plan. So until they do this collection of period homes sits and rots.

Roncesvalles and Howard Park/ Then and Now

Looking south down Roncesvalles from Howard Park during a snowstorm in the winter of 1925.
Howard Park is named after John Howard and was a road that lead to his property now known as High Park.
