Looking southwest along Bay St from Edward St in downtown Toronto.
The building in the right foreground is the Toronto Coach Terminal. Built exclusively for interurban motor coach travellers, the terminal opened its doors in 1931. It was a major transportation hub for nine decades, closing in 2021.
In addition to the coach terminal, the images also capture the McKnight Building, a five-storey commercial building constructed in the mid-1920s. Early tenants of the McKnight Building included dentists, fashion businesses, a music instructor, a tobacco shop, and a post office substation.
