Looking southeast towards the corner of Bay St and Edward St in the Downtown Yonge area of Toronto.
In the archive photo, the shops from left to right include a grocery store that features a Coca-Cola sign, Louis Pantaleo’s Barber Shop, and Morris Monhait’s Restaurant. In the right background, the tall building was the Hotel Ford. Today, this corner is home to a mixed-use building.
