Queensway right before Royal York.. That is now a strip joint called 'House of Lancaster'
John B. Parkin Associates for the Bank of Nova Scotia.
If you look at the shadows in the last picture than North would have to be to the left (around lunch hour) or behind (Late afternoon) the pov. It might be Rexdale plaza if the pov is to the south, but then I don't see the giant sears warehouse on the SW corner of the intersection. There does appear to be a traffic sign for the 401 though. If the pov is to the N-NE it could also be Rexdale and 27.
here are a few more odds and sods from that collection:
love those pod shapes!
Mustapha did at least one of these as a before & after.a few early Yorkdale shots

I see a great opportunity for a Then & Now followup on this thread. Here's looking at you Mustapha
Love those uniforms!
I think the description said this was in Scarborough. Note the Red Barn in the background.

Which corner of Yonge & Finch? It has to be NW or NE, judging by the powerline corridor in the background.
If it was the NW corner, did it last until being torn down for the North American (Life) Centre? (I worked there from 1991 to 2005.)
And that's obviously a former original-design McDonalds, having undergone an arch-ectomy.

It is the northwest corner and it did survive until the NA Life Centre was built in the middle 80's sometime.
Wow! Many of these pictures were taken in my former stomping grounds of Etobicoke. The strange houses with the mansard roofs I'm familiar with, but for some odd reason I cannot for the life of me remember where they are!
