Here's a very nice early shot of Queen West looking west from Brock Avenue in 1916. If you click on the image there are some interesting details.

The ornate building on the left is the Parkdale Municipal Offices and was built in 1888. It housed the Parkdale council chamber and office, the firehall and engine house as well as the police station and jail.
