Looking northeast towards the corner of Front St W and Simcoe St in downtown Toronto. The archive photo shows the Barclay Hotel just before its demolition. Notice the content auction signs on the hotel, which closed later that year. The hotel site became a parking lot for decades. In 2019, construction began on a 46-storey office tower.
