Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

[BeeRich]

So where are these buildings? Are they gone? They look fantastic. I could only think they wouldn't knock these down, but I have no clue where they are.

They're at the corner of Yonge and St. Joseph Streets, west side, one block north of Wellesley.

Or maybe you mean the buildings pictured in the post just above your question, in which case that is the old armoury facing Universoty but seen from the east side and slightly south of it, so roughly where the Ontario court house is now, behing Osgoode Hall. And the second picture shows the old registry building which is now roughly where they set up the stage on the west end of Nathan Phillips Square. Just out of sight on the left would be the east end of Osgoode Hall.

Maybe this will work, needs the google 3d plugin.

Good angle from Google! To be honest, I wasn't sure which pic BeeRich was referring to and took a gamble.....

If you are referring to the Registry pic, this map from 1924 illustrates its location:

So both of these have been torn down. What a shame. That really sucks.

Looks like there was also another Story added to the building at one time.

Very observant!

Where did they put it?

From one who remembers the old, but not the new.

Both facades remained in place; you see them shored up here to prevent their falling over - they were incorporated into the new development.
