Then. The Manufacturers Building. Couldn't find data as to when it was built, but its replacement was built in 1962.
1902--the first of G.W. Gouinlock's Beaux-Arts pavilion extravaganzas. Burnt in 1961.
I have to admit, all these CNE pics have piqued my interest...
I think I'm finally going to go tonight!
Goldie, I am immensely enjoying the Flickr Then and Now album link you posted recently, thank you.

Now. July 2010.
This imposing structure has been doing its unsung duty for at least 88 years now.

The one good thing about those backlit signs is they don't do too much damage to the building or sometimes old signage. It wouldn't surprise me if all or parts of the old sign in the pix above is still there. The pic below is the Main Drug Store at Dundas & Ossington. If you look underneath the backlit you can see that the original storefront is still intact. Would look great if someone restored it.

Another great site for those who like to browse old archive photos is: http://www.shorpy.com
I can spend hours there!
Mostly US photos but I found this one of Toronto - Humberside Football Team, c.1950 - see attachment
