The Coca-Cola ghost sign is located at 873 St Clair Ave W (between Christie St and Oakwood Ave) in the Regal Heights neighbourhood of Toronto.
On the upper east side wall of the building, there is a red and white “Enjoy Coca-Cola” ghost sign. This vibrant sign dates back to between 1972 and 1982, when it originally overlooked a gas station that was later replaced by a small plaza adjacent to the building.
According to the Toronto City Directory, the building itself was constructed around 1915. It appears to have mainly served as a residential building until the 1990s. Since then, its storefront has housed a gift and picture framing shop, a clothing store, and is currently home to a tattoo shop.
