The portico triggered my memory. At least they kept a piece of it. Rogers now? I can't recall what it used to be in the recent past.

The mens' lavatory at Toronto & Adelaide Streets, circa 1900. With a tower lovingly crafted from corrugated iron, men descended down stairs to use the facilities below. The facilities were kept by an attendant, a former waiter (TPL).

The facilities of the underground men's lavatory at Toronto & Adelaide 1897 (City Archives). The architects were Strickland & Symons. The attendant, a Mr. R I Smith is visible. He lived at 100 Nassau St. Flushed with civic pride.

Confederation Life building is there, but Massey Hall isn't. My guess is 1893.

Wouldn't that pale gabled thing to the right of Confederation Life be Massey Hall?
Also of note: the party-wall back of EJ Lennox's long-gone proto-skyscraper Beard Building at King & Jarvis. (Back when I first saw this image in one of Mike Filey's early books, I was wondering what that tall thing was.)
