In 1967, this building housed the Yuli of Switzerland Hair Salon
I went to House of Lords once. That was a few years later. My parents didn't like the end result or the cost.

Here's another item on that plane you saw, Mustapha:

Mustapha, I'm a long time lurker and have spent many hours here fascinated by the great Then and Nows. This one in particular caught my eye because I spend a lot of time in the building on the right. Is it possible that the "then" was later than 1954? The same site is also shown in Anna's post, reposted by jaborandi yesterday in post #9485, but in that picture, dated 1960, the building that must have pre-dated the one in your post is still standing.
Hello teridactyl. Welcome. I think we can agree now in this thread that the 1980's era Key Largo postcard fooled me with it's 1950s 'style' (and that old car as a 'prop').
Thanks to you, adma, Anna, the lemur and others I'm going to have to be real careful not to just repeat sources.
Thanks. Somehow I completely missed all the other posts about it until after my own post. Hence the quick deletion...but not quick enough!

Hey adma and the lemur, the source of the card and the date associated was an online postcard seller. I'd like to know too as I now realize the tree and it's style of situation is not anything I've seen in 1950s Toronto pictures. The palm tree in the back of the restaurant may be a giveaway to the amount of simulation going on. The car of course fooled me from the start.
Given that it was designed by EJ Lennox, there must be a ground floor plan extant (wwwebster?).
It would be more 1959/60-ish (that's a '59 Ford behind the subway entrance; plus, what I presume is the hoarding for Peter Dickinson's Prudential on the right)
At what point did Child's restaurants fold, I wonder?
Meh. They chose too trendy of fixtures, IMHO. They will look dated very quickly.As seen in today's National Post:

Then and Now for August 15.
Then. 1047 Yonge Street. 'Office Building of Resources Engineering of Canada Ltd. Consulting Engineers.' c1969.
Now. May 2012. It's a condo of, I'm guessing, early 90s vintage.
