Looking southeast towards the corner of Queen St W and Bathurst St in the Fashion District of Toronto.
The building at the corner, 651 Queen St W, has a rich history, serving as the Occident Hall, the Holiday Tavern, and The Big Bop before becoming CB2 (Crate & Barrel). Built in 1876 and designed by architects McCaw & Lennox for the Masonic Order, the architecture of the building reflects the Second Empire style, and in 2016, it received heritage status from the city.
