I've got a collection of old photos and most of them I've managed to geographically locate. One has me - and a number of others - stumped.

It appears to be some institution - hospital maybe? I doubt that it is a college, even though it is named as such. Can anyone help me out? I do believe it is somewhere in the GTA - although I might be wrong. Thanks in advance!

Could the 'College' be referring to a Military College?

I think I saw this photo on another post and someone identified it as the old Toronto Tuburbculosis hospital - west of Jane Street, north of Eglinton Avenue.

I think that this is correct. I believe it was on Tedder Street just North of Trethewey Dr. If you take a "birds eye" look at this area on Bing maps you can see what appears to be the same "Victory" houses shown in the foreground.

Sorry, can't see the photo.

Sorry, can't see the photo.

Sorry my first link did not work . The below should work. If not go to Bing maps and look for the intersection of Tedder and Trethewey and select "birds eye view"

Rudy originally posted two pictures

Hello All -

I'm new to the forum and quite appreciate some of the discussion and photos that are posted.

I'm working on going through a large collection of oblique air photos taken in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The photos are from around the country but most focus on southern Ontario. I am sorting through the photos of the Greater Toronto Area from the 1950s (the collection is so large that I need to limit myself).

I can identify and locate the features that are shown in many of the photos but some of them I am stumped. I am attaching a couple here for your consideration.

One (not this one) was identified as the Weston Sanitorium aka Toronto Hospital for Consumptives aka Weston San - which is now West Park Health Centre - located on Buttonwood Ave - off Jane, between Eglinton and Weston Road.

Peepers -

I looked at your suggested location but the houses don't seem to match up. If you look at the photo I posted you'll see that that are a number of houses facing the man street - that doesn't seem to be the case with the houses on Tretheway Drive - looks like there are side loops to that street. Also - the corner of the street in the foreground looks a little tighter than anything in that neighbourhood. also - the buildings appear to be a different style than the West Park buildings.

I'm not getting much of a "match" vibe from these images of the TB and Queen Mary Hospital (both on Buttonwood):
