Looking northwest towards the Royal York Hotel along Front St W from east of Bay St in downtown Toronto.
The archive photo showcases several distinct features, such as the streetcar tracks that used to run along Front St. The construction of the west and central sections of the Royal York Hotel was completed in 1929, a detail depicted in the historical photo. However, the 400-room east wing, prominently visible in the right foreground of the current image, was not added until the late 1950s.
