I suppose we'll never know the purpose of that tower on the OKeefe brewery...

The building as noted above - 264/266 College Street contained a main floor store, Tip Top Tailors.
(Which had replaced the Broadview Methodist Church building.)

Not Toronto-related, but I just came across a spectacular feature in the Detroit Free Press on that city's derelict Packard Plant. One of the best (and most shocking) Then and Nows I've ever seen: http://www.freep.com/article/20121202/NEWS01/120823062
Technical correction, gentlemen: it was the Broadway Methodist Tabernacle, designed by E.J. Lennox, opened in 1899 (same year as his City Hall), demolished in 1930.

I always enjoy the small details in the "then" photos and this time I wondered about "Mr Robert Mantell". Turns out he was an actor.
"Robert Bruce Mantell (February 7, 1854 – June 27, 1928) was a heralded Shakespearean stage actor who made several silent films. "
He has a Wiki page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_B._Mantell and this quote is from it.
