Voltaire Coffee House
Peace, Espresso, Uhuru
Look familiar? It should.
This is 515 Jarvis, built for Arthur McMaster in 1868, later named Euclid Hall by the Masseys. It has seen many uses over the years - since 1976, it has been the Keg Mansion.

Northeast corner of Huntley Street and Isabella Street, early 1960s. This building stood until about 2009, and has since been replaced by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario headquarters.

Looking east, along the south side of Bloor St E, from Huntley to Sherbourne. Today, this view would mainly be Postmedia Place and the new Canopy hotel / Rosedale on Bloor condos. At the end of the block, on the corner, 421 Bloor St E still stands.

I did a double take when I realized what building this is - at first I didn’t recognize it at all.
87 Front St E.
Just across Market Street from St. Lawrence Market.
Built 1858. Designated 1986.
Still there today, cleaned up and restored.

Kensington Market, 1971.
70-78 Kensington Ave.
- Alves West Indies Foods

- Abraham Charny Kosher Butcher
- Dutch Dairies
- Magyar Hentes Butchers
Love the half-house mid-block.
So many details in this one.

Grossman’s Tavern, live music stalwart, at Spadina & Cecil. View looks south, before the streetcar right-of-way, in the time of angled parking. The tower in the distance, on the right, would have been St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church, now site of Dragon City Mall.

Four brand new Toronto Specials, from the era during which many homes of this type were built.

Two of my Twitter themes converge: missing middle and old Toronto photos.
34-44 Pape Avenue, around 1960. A four-pack of new triplexes. Each has three 2-bedroom apartments. All still exist today.

The Colgate-Palmolive plant on Carlaw Avenue (yes, at Colgate Avenue), around 1960. View is looking north from just above Queen. Demolished in the mid-‘90s, it is now the site of Showcase Lofts

One for the people who were down by the lake today - a 1960s view looking east across the Humber Bay breakwaters. Across the bay, Sunnyside Pavilion on the left, Boulevard Club on the right.

Looking east along Price Street (east of Yonge, and south of ‘the five thieves’). At the end of the street, the gated entrance to the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club. Of this view, only the gate and the white building next to it remain.

(still not even halfway through the trove)

A good one to start 2023.
Looking north from Queens Quay West, just west of Bay, an unobstructed (pre-Gardiner) view of the Toronto Postal Delivery Building (now Scotiabank Arena). Harbour Commission Bldg to the left. Field in the foreground is now Waterpark Place.

TPB scan #166.
Children playing by 14 Blevins Place, Regent Park. One of Peter Dickinson’s maisonette towers (note the boxes on balconies that housed small hammers, to allow residents to enter adjacent apts to escape fire). View is SW towards Nelson Mandela Park Public School.

I never knew this building, but I like it. University Lutheran Chapel, 610-612 Spadina Avenue (west side, between Willcocks and Harbord). Now the site of the St. Vladimir Institute/Ukrainian Museum of Canada.
#TPBscan #164
Thorncliffe Park, looking south across Overlea Blvd at Thorncliffe Market Place (now East York Town Centre). Signage for the Sayvette department store visible, one of the mall anchors. Across the street, the Mathers and Haldenby Coca Cola HO and bottling plant.
#TPBscan #163
Another Lockwood aerial. Taken from around St George, below Bloor, looking east over Philosopher’s Walk and the ROM. Colonnade visible. No Manulife Centre yet. A very different Yorkville in the top left. Can just see Yonge & Bloor at the top/centre.
#TPBscan #162
Lockwood Survey Corporation aerial image of downtown, looking south along University Avenue, from Bloor to the lake. U of T campus in the foreground, Robarts Library under construction. Roundhouses in the distance. Much in between. Zoom in, lots to see.
#TPBscan #161
Yonge & Wellesley, looking east.
Parking lot on the northeast corner. A good look at Wellesley Station before it was enclosed/decked over - you can see the swooping canopy (still there today, but many details lost/altered over the years).
#TPBscan #160
A good view north along Yonge, from Wellesley. Negative sleeve says Oct ‘64. I see Hercules a few buildings down! Long since replaced by Seduction, which has now also closed. Masonic Hall Buildings at 2 Gloucester in the distance. Yellow Cab at the intersection.
