Nor any team colours. Unless the home team at that time was called the Grey Socks. LOL.

That's a wonderful series!, thecharioteer. I love that 1888 photo.......so much detail.
With your permission, I'll use it again.

Interesting how the Arcade Building was originally only 3 stories on Victoria--wonder when it got extended upward...

An in-between pic of the General Trust Building that stood on the NE corner of Bay & Melinda:

 

[Sky Blue Skin]

Melinda originally went through to Bay?

 

[thecharioteer]

Melinda originally went through to Bay?

Yes. And Jordan went down to King.

 

[Sky Blue Skin]

Yes. And Jordan went down to King.

Jordan meets King. Did it originally go north of King?

 

[DSC]

Melinda originally went through to Bay?

Yep. This from 1893 Goad. Jordan was also longer.

 

[Goldie]

Surprising to see that these two elegant structures once stood at opposing corners of Melinda at Bay.
General Trust Building and Toronto Evening Telegram Building

Jordan meets King. Did it originally go north of King?

Sorry, I meant Wellington.
