Looking northeast towards the corner of Bay St and Richmond St W, in the Financial District of Toronto.
Both photos feature the Old City Hall in the background. The corner building in the present-day photo was constructed in the late 1920s for the Robert Simpson Company department store. This building later became the home of Hudson’s Bay Company, which closed its doors in June 2025.
