"Riverdale Park tram 1936 - Collections Canada"

Doubtful.
(Too early.)

And AlbertWagstaff: "Must be 1915 at the latest, as open sided streetcars were banned in 1915. It's more likely from the 1900s."

This 1898 car (attached) appears to be of the same vintage.

Open sided streetcars would be awesome to bring back for tourists.

How old would a photo have to be to be considered historical in 1936

In my definition, a one-day-old photo is 'historical.' History is yesterday!

Should be possible to figure it out based on the history of the Winchester streetcar. I wonder what the building in the background is.

The Munro Park photo can't be later than 1906, as the (amusement) park ceased to be a destination around then.

Not knowing the full route of the Winchester car, and not knowing what it looked like before the front addition, I would say Saint Lukes United.

I think you're right! I was thinking of the Presbyterian church on Broadview and Simpson, but that's brick and doesn't match.

Here's a streetcar map from 1916:

That seems about right, considering what it looked like when it was still called Sherbourne Methodist, and the route would have taken the car through or past Sherbourne & Carlton at some point.

I was quite surprised to find the negatives of these photos in my old files.
The Don Station was moved to Todmorden Mills in 1969.
Today it's located at Roundhouse Park.

A lot of well dressed people.
