I've always liked this photo of Bond Street looking north from Queen from the Toronto Archives (ca 1885-1895). It's a skyline of spires.

The church on the right is Metropolitan United. The one behind it is St. Michael's Cathedral. I'm curious what church stands behind St. Mike's--it must have been demolished at some point.

Apparently you needed facial hair to get ahead in 1905. Goldie, what is the source of these photos?
