Looking west along Bloor St W, from east of Spadina Ave/Rd in The Annex neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Varsity Tea Room, more recently home to Pizza Pizza, in the foreground on the right. Further along, an Owl Drug Store is in a building whose corner storefront currently houses 7-Eleven. In both images, the tower of today’s Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church & Centre for Faith, Justice, and the Arts is visible in the distance on the left .
