Looking northwest towards the corner of Jarvis St and Richmond St E in the Old Town, St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto.
One building that remains constant in both photos is the five-storey warehouse in the centre distance. It was constructed over a century ago for Robertson Bros Limited, which was once one of Canada’s largest confectionery manufacturers. Today, the heritage-designated building is part of the Queen Richmond Centre.
