Looking southwest towards the corner of Richmond St W and Peter St, in the Entertainment District of Toronto.
The 2021 photo shows the building that once stood at the corner. Over the years, it housed a variety of businesses, including the Toronto Steam Bath Co., Del-Mar Clothes (men’s wear), General Quilting Co., and Plastique Lounge. In the 2026 photo, the building has been demolished, and the site is being prepared for a condo tower.
