Shockingly, a Toronto street scene without an automobile in sight.

It was painted in 1870 by A Cox, possibly a copy of the 1803 picture.

There were some major brickmaking operations in that area at the time. Leo Pears is one possibility, as also is the Yorkville & Carlton Brickmaking Co.

I see a pole in the corner to operate the windows, but what is the device extending above, and attached to, the radiator? I grew up with radiators, but never did we have attachments.

Is that asbestos wrapped around what I'm assuming to be a heating pipe on the wall in the upper left of the image? A lot of asbestos was used for decades as a fire barrier.
Carcinogen or white asbestos was used as artificial snow in theatres and movie & television sets before they stopped using it. Remember that when you see Jimmy Stewart running through the artificial snow (foamite and asbestos) in "It's A Wonderful Life".

That pipe does look wrapped. We had pipes in our basement that looked like that.
In this picture I realize that the raised ledge is a gas cooker! I think they’re cooking food...I see what looks like eggs, and a sifter for flour, etc.
