Looking west along Dundas St W from Yonge St in the Downtown Yonge area of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Hotel Ford, the tall building in the distance. Built in 1927/28, during its first year, Hotel Ford was the best hotel in the city until the Royal York Hotel opened. Hotel Ford was torn down in 1974.
Notice Roger’s store in the left foreground of the present-day photo. The building was constructed in 1949 for the Bank of Nova Scotia and received heritage status from the city in 2007.
