Danforth Ave and Broadview Ave (SW) in 1972 & 2025

Posted:

Looking southwest towards the corner of Danforth Ave and Broadview Ave in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto.

Aside from the shops and restaurants in the storefronts, the streetscape has remained largely unchanged over the past fifty years. On the far right, you’ll notice a building that resembles a house. Constructed in 1920, this building was originally one of the city’s public washrooms but has since been repurposed for other uses.
