Goldie: What is the new "flatiron" building in your last pic?? Haven't been in downtown for years.

I focussed in particular on the signage on the right side of the building to get Williamsons (?) Could Williamsons have been a pharmaceutical company or ??

Williamsons Drugs?? Best guess after changing pic to a negative and changing values with "Irfanview"

Looks like they totally rebuilt the facade on the south side of the building in "The Case of the Shrunken Building" .

Round about 1954, my grandfather came to Toronto to sell popcorn, chestnuts and candy apples. He only stayed for four months but in that time he saved enough money to go back to his family in Greece and provide for them for the next three years. I think he went as far as the Spadina area from...

While checking out these images, I saw that further east at 744 Queen is a Bank of Commerce. Beautiful facade! Is it still a bank? or ??

If I recall correctly, there was also a miniature village.

Duuhhhh! The coupon lists this store! I never thought to check in JT's list!

OOOPS, I realize the store on Roncesvalles was a hardware store. Any link to the shoe store other than name?? Also found this Pollock's 3 cent store coupon from 1927. http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/graphics/pollocks-shoe-store-3-cent-coupon/ Before Canadian Tire...

The Pollocks store we went to when I was growing up in the area was on the north side of Dundas between Keele and Pacific (in the 1950's). And if I recall correctly, there was also one on Roncesvalles on the east side (in the early 1970's). Yellow was the predominant storefront colour.

Re Union Stations From Derek Boles, Toronto Railway Heritage Moderator "June 13, 1872: The cornerstone is laid for Toronto's second Union Station. The city's first Union Station, built in 1858, had been demolished in 1871 and construction began on this much more elaborate edifice located at...

I tend to agree with you but when I finally found this photo in the archives it was noted as second Union Station. I will try to find that link again. Correction, at torontoist.com http://torontoist.com/2011/01/historicist_bridge_of_sighs/

Found the answer to my own question: York Street Bridge with Second Union Station in Background, 1908. City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1244, Item 594.

While at the June Stratford Nostalgia Show, I purchased this pic of Union Station and the York Street Bridge circa 1908. It is a William James photograph #594. Has anyone seen this pic before?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/railmus/7176763235/
