Looking southeast from Dundas St W toward the corner of Dundas Sq and Yonge St, in the Downtown Yonge area of Toronto.
The area has evolved over the past 90 years, but one of the buildings that remains is the white three-storey building in the centre-left background. It was constructed in 1918 for Child’s Restaurant, as shown in the archive photo. Over the years, it has been occupied by various establishments, including Friar’s Tavern, Nickelodeon, and the Hard Rock Café.
Nowadays, the building is home to a Shopper’s Drug Mart, and Friar’s Music Museum can be found on the second floor.
