Torontoist's weekend Historicist: “All Ski Jumpers Are Not Intent on Suicide†Torontonians tackle the Thorncliffe Ski Jump

'Another' excellent timewaster is the website The Kings Highway The Stoney Creek traffic circle/roundabout in 1970 http://www.thekingshighway.ca/PHOTOS/qew-245_xlg.jpg The site also has before and after photos of the Freeman 'trumpet' junction/exchange here and here...

I believe it was because they wanted to eliminate the merge lane for space and/or safety reasons. That ramp was for westbound York Mills drivers only - now they just use they one that was already there for the eastbound York Mills drivers. http://torontoist.com/2008/06/ghost_of_the_dvp/

The Archives has photos of the Dominion Hotel in 1945 with tower and 4th floor(?). If you use 'Search the Archives' you might be able to find pictures of that stretch of Queen as well. http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=7cb4ba2ae8b1e310VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD

Was it always a barbershop? 1856

Wojeck was 'inspired by' Morton Shulman. from Wikipedia:o

I'm with JT - Yonge between Hayden & Bloor 193? 1938

Does this help?:)

Was it one of the railway overpasses - like Gerrard and Carlaw? Most of the industrial sites would have been close to the tracks - like Carlaw and Dundas (which is curvy and longer).

Based on the shape, I'd say yes to a), and based on Goldie's photos the building was tiny because it was chopped in half. Some time between 1962 and 1965 - probably for subway construction

I dunno, I'm still waiting for wwwebster's confirmation that it's the same fire hydrant :D

Great, you solve the wwwebster's grand mystery the day after he goes away... True, that. The 571 Wilton Avenue address was short-lived. 1913 Goad`s (but why no house drawn on the lot?) 1911 Canadian Census, 19 Elliott Street Frederick Ward, carter, age 53, born England, immigated 1888...

Here's the link to the full PDF from May. That was just the 'mid-rise' scenario, there is also a 'tall buildings' scenario. http://www1.toronto.ca/staticfiles/city_of_toronto/city_planning/urban_design/files/pdf/egconnects_focus_may13.pdf from here...

Why not say the borders are those of the old town of North Toronto. :D

I took a quick look at the online 1921 directory and couldn't find anything that fits either. Maybe the date of the photo is (also) incorrect. The turreted house at the north east corner of Parliament and Amelia was number #585 on the 1924 Goads (which covers both halves of a semi) and is...

And the houses that are there look like they could have been there in 1921, but don't look anything like the ones in the photo. Looking at the 1924 Goad's of the area around Dundas & Parliament, most of the numbers on the north/south streets are much lower than 571, so I'm not sure it's even...
