Looking north up Dufferin St from Bloor St W, in the Bloorcourt and Bloordale Village neighbourhoods of Toronto.

A few establishments visible in the archive photo include the Joy Oil Company gas station and the Bell Telephone Company of Canada on the left, while Crushing Drugs and Hurst Bros Real Estate are located on the right. Today, the former gas station site is occupied by the TTC Dufferin Subway Station, while Bell continues to operate at the same location.
