Looking northwest towards the corner of Dundas St E and Bond St, in the Garden District of Toronto.
A few of the businesses in the archive photo, from left to right, include the Imperial Hotel, Biggar Lock & Key, Old Stone Mill (clothing), Raffles Restaurant, the Windeler Electric Co. and Shaw Laboratories (dental products), located in the building that features the Reliance Engravers ghost sign. In the background of both photos on the right, the steeple of the First Lutheran Church is also visible.
A portion of this Dundas St E block, from Bond St to Victoria Lane, has been demolished to make way for a 21-storey TMU student residence.
