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.

Jane and Lawrence/Then and Now

Another strip plaza on the west side of Jane north of Lawrence, early 1960's.
The significance of this photo is the photography studio shown.
Alexandra Studios have just re-located here and are responsible for hundreds of period photos in the City of Toronto's Archives.
