Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

[strawdocs]

Wow these are great, would be really interested if anyone had any photos of Toronto (particularly Yorkville) from around 1967 for a film project I'm working on.

I like these pics so much that I started saving some --- but there are almost 900 pages so if I do a page a day it will take 3 years. lol

Oh wow great photos. It's interesting how the one on College Park has not changed much.

In order to extend Bloor St. W. near Clendenan Ave. in 1914, this valley at the N. end of High Park was filled to the level of the sewer column shown here.

Silly question, but where did they get the fill in order to "fill" in the valley. And along the same lines, where did all that fill come from that created our lakefront the way it is now.

Good question!
Certainly plenty of fill was required.
Here's a view when it neared completion:

They got the fill from the Glendonwynne Road area - this photo is titled 'Glendonwynne Avenue pit where fill removed to fill in Bloor and Clendenan Hollow'

I would swear someone asked how long those houses at Bloor and Huntley last beyond 1969, but I no longer see the post. I even had the answer. There's a picture in the archives showing Greenwin being built in 1972. I don't know how to make that show up here
