Dufferin St. stoplight at De Havilland (Downsview) Airport runway c.1940 The aircraft appears to be a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber

That strip on Yonge was certainly popular in those days. Here's an undated photo showing the action during a sale at A&A's and/or Sam's:

Interesting that we can still see 4 of the 1914 structures on the East side of Yonge and, of course, that old corner building on the N/W corner.

Tallest buildings in The British Empire until 1962. The Royal York Hotel (built 1929) and The Bank of Commerce (built 1930).

On second thought.....could this be the windmill in 1950? (unfortunately, not very high-res)

Here's an aerial (c.1950?) of the foot of Parliament at Queens Quay. "Aerial view of Toronto waterfront showing Victory Mills and the Port Industrial Area" No sign of the windmill here.

Not sure how I'm expected to react to this photo. Is it a joyous image of children at play? .......a shocking image of adolescent vandalism? .......a display of adult boredom? .......a secret political message? Or just a sign of the times?

I first came upon this unique, old structure 9 years ago while exploring Dawes Rd. S. of Danforth Ave. It's at #10 Dawes Rd. just N. of the main railway line, near Main St. Apparently, built in the late 1890s as a grain elevator and grist mill, it was originally called Chalmer's Flour Mill...

The above photo --------unique viewpoint........Is it possible to do a panorama from there?

Amazing aerial view, looking S/E, at the industrial centre of Leaside c.1929. The former Canada Wire & Cable Co., now a huge shopping complex, with the original Leaside Aerodrome to its north. Thorncliff Racetrack is seen in the background at right. Eglinton in the foreground and in the...

Welcome to the site Frank. Nice to hear from another P&B employee. I recall that name..Jack Phillis....he must have been at the George St. location in 1955. I've often thought about the 2 studio photographers...Murray Dutchak & Peter Lucas. I think they went into the motion picture...

Certainly some amazing changes along Front St. since 1930...thanks DSC & Northern Light. This single building appears to be the only one remaining----except for the Hockey Hall of Fame in the old bank at the corner of Yonge. Once known as "Film House," a location for motion picture production...

More than 50 years ago. Ontario Place was under construction.....and proposed to open in 1971

Thanks for that correction, adma. I had no idea the building had been moved. I wonder if there are any photos of the move.

The Toronto Board of Education Administration Building (built 1917) was located at 263 McCaul St., an obvious city thoroughfare. Today, the building is on a laneway (same address) and part of the U. of T. complex. An unusual situation, to be sure.

Always nice to see a business that's survived for 50 years!

bangkok......My immediate reaction was: That's not steel-beam construction is it? I'm puzzled by the colour. Almost everything today seems to be built with reinforced-concrete. Am I correct?
