Looking northwest towards the corner of Bloor St W and Ossington Ave, in the Bloorcourt Village neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows workers installing streetcar tracks that previously ran along both streets. Some shops in the old photo include James Shankland drygoods, National Furniture Company, and Marriott Hollingshead grocer from right to left. Also, a portion of the former Toronto Fire Station No. 14 is visible behind the buildings.
