Looking southwest towards the corner of Parliament St and Richmond St E, in the Moss Park neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Forli BP service station and auto repair shop at the corner. In 1962, Mr. Forli opened the service station with BP (British Petroleum) while also operating his car mechanical services. In 1972, it became known as Forli Motors. After nearly 60 years in the auto business, the shop closed in 2021.

Hello, I’m sorry this is wrong. You may want to investigate further. Mr. Forli held the business there for 60 years. He ran it as as a service station BP along side his mechanical service.
