Looking southwest along Yonge St from Breadalbane St, in the Downtown Yonge area of Toronto.
In the archive photo, the St Charles Tavern clock tower is an impressive sight, standing tall in the distance, while the Eaton’s College Street Store is also visible. Meanwhile, the foreground is filled with the businesses that lined the street at the time, such as Tuxedo Junction, Radio City, and Funland.
The present-day photo showcases the current streetscape. The top of the St Charles Tavern clock tower and the rooftop of Eaton’s store, with the Canadian flag fluttering, are still visible in the distance.
