Looking south on King St E at Leader Lane in the St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo captures Cyrano’s Restaurant on the left, a parking lot in the centre and the King Edward Hotel on the right. In the background, the white facade of the former Tom Jones Steak House on Colborne St adds to the scene.
Presently, the façade of the building that previously housed Cyrano’s has been integrated into a modern office structure. The old steak house building, which is now concealed behind the office tower, and the King Eddy remain intact today.
