Looking north up Ossington Ave from Queen St W in the Beaconsfield Village neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Columbia Hotel in the left foreground with Fire Hall No. 9 hose and clock tower in the background.
The hotel was demolished in 2009 and replaced with the present-day mixed-use building. Fire Hall No. 9 remained in service for over 90 years until its decommissioning in the late 1960s. Although the clock aspect of the tower has since been removed, the remaining structure received heritage status in 2003.
