Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

[AlbertHWagstaff]

I love the reflection of the photographer and his tripod in the front door of the 1954 picture.

 

[Red October]

This new format is killing me.

 

[Koolgreen]

This new format is killing me.

I second that!

so meta

 

[railmus]

I do not like this format. Why the change?? Did I miss something??

 

[Armour]

Agreed. I'm not a fan of the new format either. Why fix something that isn't broke?

They switched the forum software. They have not enabled a lot of features like "mark forum as read" etc.

Hi all,

I was in the area last week checking out the new Harborfont digs... couldn't go without a few "Thens" in the back pocket. Thought I would share...

231 Augusta Ave. 1959

Second storey is gone!

 

[the lemur]

It looks very like the south west corner of Kensington and St Andrew in Kensington Market before the store built an extension onto the sidewalk but ....

I wonder if it's not a different neighbourhood, such as Cabbagetown, or Little Italy.

Woodbine Ave. at Frater Ave., 1956
At the time of local snack bars, markets and cinemas.

Does anyone remember the half-built, and then abandoned building on this site at the N/W corner of Don Mills and Mallard? I believe it was to be the offices for an "eye doctors' association." Finally demolished and redeveloped in 2013 as a business court.

 

[Armour]

Interesting. I didn't know about that abandoned structure. Thanks for posting. That would have been a good site for the new Don Mills Arena.
