Looking northeast on Dundas St E, from just west of Sherbourne St, in the Garden District of Toronto.
The archive photo shows streetcar tracks being laid on the curve of Wilton Crescent, or what is known today as Dundas St E. Behind the fence on the left was once the site of The Belmont, a private boarding house. In the distance on the right is All Saints Church, which was built in 1874. In the present-day photo, the building on the left was once home to George’s Spaghetti House and later True Love Café.
After 150 years, All Saints Church is still serving the community and today is known as All Saints Church-Community Centre (City of Toronto Archives, Series 372, Sub Series 58, Item 50).
