Looking southeast towards the front of Union Station on Front St W between Bay St and York St in downtown Toronto.
Behind the 22 limestone columns are the principal entrances to Union Station. The building is in the Beaux-Arts style and was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1975.
The York Pioneer Tavern sign can be seen on the right in the archive photo. It was an 80-seat lounge that opened in 1960 and became the first Ontario railway station lounge to serve alcohol the following year.
