Queen and Spadina/Then

The S/E corner in 1983 before Queen Street was "hip". It was mostly used book stores and cheap furniture. This photo is by Patrick Cummins.

Queen and Spadina/Then and Now

Queen and Spadina/Then and Now

The Turofsky Brothers outside their original photography studio (Alexandra Studios) on Queen Street West in the early 1920's. Le Chateau is there now. The Turofskys are responsible for thousands of photos in the archives.

In their new car (a Stutz?) outside the studio on Queen. The theatre behind them (I can't make out the name but appears to be Peoples Theatre.) is today's Rivoli.
