Looking northwest towards the corner of Front St E and Jarvis St, in the Old Town, St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo features the third St Lawrence Market North, with the steeple of the Cathedral Church of St James and the cupola of St Lawrence Hall in the background. In the old photo, also notice the sign for “Eclipse Soap – The Best in the World” on the left side of the market building.
Today, the sixth St. Lawrence Market North, which will open on April 5, 2025, occupies the corner.

I’m looking for an image of the ugly North market building that replaced the original.
Hi Sue, Here’s a page you might be interested in: https://www.torontojourney416.com/north-st-lawrence-market/
It lists all the previous North market buildings and has several photos.
