Looking northeast along Queen St E from Coxwell Ave in the Greenwood-Coxwell neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the streetscape a century ago. Woodbine Drug Store is in the foreground on the left. Across Coxwell St, there are three billboards: one on the roof advertising White Brothers Clothiers, and two on the side of a building for Ideal Bread and Coca-Cola.
One notable similarity between both the past and present photos is the streetcar tracks.
