Looking southwest towards Yonge St from Wellington St in the Financial District and St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto.
A few of the shops in the archive photo on Yonge St include National Clothing Co., Famous Brand Shoe, Shoppe 44 (men’s wear), Long’s Grill Restaurant and Varsity Centre (gifts & sundries).
Additionally, in the background on the right, you can spot the top of the Royal York Hotel.
