Just to give you an idea of how much land has been reclaimed through in fill along the Lakeshore at the foot of Roncesvalles in Parkdale, here is a photo of the lakefront in 1915. That's the oldSunnyside Train Station.
This photoshopped version (not perfect) shows the extent that the lake has been filled in. This doesn't include all the parkland to the south of Lakeshore Blvd.
24 Leopold Street in Parkdale. This photo from the archives is labelled "Spite Fence" and dated 1937. Someone obviously had a problem with their neighbour and the city got involved.
