    Interesting how Sutherland is such a prominent street in that photo. The route to Sunnybrook Farm.

    Leaside

    I define it as the same as the actual municipal border of the Town of Leaside (pre- or post- annexation of Thorncliffe Park, your choice):o The Birth of Leaside You live in North Toronto. Or Davisville. The Manifest Destiny of North Toronto

    Yes, there was some discussion about whether the bridge in the photo had been 'misidentified' and whether the view was looking north or south, and I gave a half-hearted search and... Many Rosedale bridges here http://wholemap.com/historic/toronto.php?neighbourhood=Rosedale found it...

    I think you got it right. My first thought when I saw Mustapha's ghost sign was 'I didn't know Junors /Junor's had been around so long'. And if you want to link to a photo, use the Archives' 'view full window' option...

    1015 Mt. Pleasant Road: Old and New

    It used to be Cruickshanks - a small garden centre. They also sold bulbs through a mail order catalogue. The old house had a green vitrolite(?) tile front. There's a photo of what it used to look like here: http://studiolabeaute.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/H23.pdf

    Scarborough Photographs: Then and Now

    I recall seeing a photo of one on the Scarborough Historical Society's facebook page. I think it was on Gooderham Drive in Wexford and was built by the postee's father. Here's one from Mississauga.
