September 27, 1973/February 10, 2024 – Looking northeast along Lombard St, west of Jarvis St in the Old Town, St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Lombard Street City Morgue in the left foreground, which was in use from 1908 until 1975. Visible in the background is the top of the former Fire Hall No. 5’s tower (with the Canadian Flag).
There are plans to construct a mixed-use development called 100 Lombard at the site. As per the proposal, the old morgue building would be relocated about 35 m east and positioned directly next to the former Lombard Street Fire Hall at 110 Lombard St (City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1526, File 61, Item 56).
