The Queensway and Roncesvalles Ave (NW) in 1923 & 2023

Posted:

Looking northwest from the intersection of The Queensway, Roncesvalles Ave, Queen St W and King St W in the Sunnyside and Parkdale neighbourhoods of Toronto.

The archive photo shows when the corner was home to the Sunnyside Restaurant. By the 1930s, the TTC Car House, the Sunnyside Bus Terminal with B & G Coffee Shop Milk Bar (today a McDonald’s restaurant) and the Edgewater Hotel (presently Hotel Shelter) had been constructed at the corner. It’s interesting to see how much has changed in 100 years.

Then and Now
