Looking northwest up Bay St from south of Richmond St W in Toronto’s Financial District.
The archival photo features an arch on Bay St, created for the royal tour of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. On the left, you can see the former Temple Building (of the Independent Order of Foresters), while both images also show the clock tower of Old City Hall in the background.
