Looking west along Gerrard St E from Ontario St in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood of Toronto.

In the background of the vintage photo, Brewers Retail is shown between Seaton St and Ontario St. Today, this stretch is being redeveloped with a seven-story mixed-use condominium building currently under construction.
