    Weston Road Bridge

    As I recall, on my visit to the bridge at that time, there was a barrier impeding vehicular traffic, which can be seen in one of my photos, but there was no signage at all regarding pedestrian traffic, other than the signs warning about the sidewalks, also visible in the photos. Here's a shot I...

    Lost Toronto Hotels

    A few more hotels ... although not exactly grand, they are indeed lost ... in one way or another ... The Palace is intact in this photo, photographed in [October]1986, with its banner soliciting Blue Jays fans, on their way to Exhibition Stadium, three years before SkyDome opened. But it...

    Little Houses on Richmond St West

    The eastern portion of number 753 was lopped off in the late 40s, early 50s, giving it the tinier frontage that it has as compared to 755. This was done to provide Richmond St W access to the rear yard of the business occupying the building at 80-86 Mitchell Ave, which fills its lot and has no...

    Weston Road Bridge

    Some photos of the bridge on Weston Road that I took in May of 1981. The bridge was closed at that time, but one could still walk across it. Shortly thereafter, the bridge was removed, but the approaches remained for years to come.

    Then and Now: Yonge/Dundas and area

    A photo I took of 650 Bay St, in February of 1988, when it was the New Asia House hotel, and Loywood Medical Pharmacy. Note the car sales and service building to the south, which burned down years ago. It's sheathed in that horrific cheese grater cladding ... three other structures that I...
