Looking northeast toward the corner of Yonge St and Richmond St E in downtown Toronto.
The archive photo shows a postal pillar box (mailbox) featuring advertisements for Taylor’s Borax Soap. This vintage image also captures a time when streetcars travelled along Yonge St.
Notice the Confederation Life Building at the corner in both photos.
