The Toronto themed matchbooks are a nice addition too.

One of the shots is of the Four Seasons Motor Hotel at Jarvis & Carlton. Does anyone know when this was demolished and on which corner it was?

 

[Edward Skira]

It was on the east side of Jarvis just north of the condo on the corner of Carlton. Townhouses built a few years back now occupy the site.

Was it around 1990 or so? And are those rubble stones at the base of the corner condo "salvage" from the Four Seasons?

Of course, remember that this is the motor hotel that started the Issy Sharp empire...

And the Four Seasons was where I and many other then CBC'ers had many, many drinks when we worked on Jarvis, across the street in the old havergal college building ...

Wow some great shots there.
