Now I'd like to see photos of these parking lots a few years earlier, when they were still built-up Victorian cityscapes and neighbourhoods.
Court Street (north of King, between Toronto and Church):

North side of Front, east of Scott:

The parking lot phenomenon was not, of course, restricted to downtown as can be see in this photo of Bloor/Yorkville post construction of the Bloor-Danforth line:

And Bloor and Avenue Road:
