Looking southwest towards the corner of Dundas St E and Church St in the Garden District of Toronto.
The building at 260 Church St was originally The Sterling Bank of Canada, then CIBC and later Pizza Pizza. The archive photo shows the steeple of St Michael’s Cathedral Basilica in the left background.
The present-day photo shows the former bank building, which received heritage status in 2021, incorporated into the contemporary 252 Church condo tower – an example of preserving a historical building while meeting modern urban living needs.
