Very cool pic. You can see how the Toronto Harbour Building actually used to be on the harbour. And old Union Station... man, that's a shame we lost that one. Would be cool to have a chance to walk these old streets to see what the old Toronto was like. Like I've said before, the new financial district should have been built beside the old one, not on top of it (like Montreal). We would have an 'old Toronto' district which we don't really have now.

Was the Toronto Harbour Building ever moved? Trying to picture the ACC in the land between but there doesn't seem to be enough room for it there.

The TD Towers are very 2001 in these photos before the rest of the MINT towers started to rise.

Great pic!
Also shows what may have been if the railways had kept the tracks at grade instead of elevated @ Union Station.

Great photo. Interesting that even back then there was a parking lot beside the Royal Alex.
What's with the roof of Queen's Park?

Not oxidized yet? might have been really shiny then.
Plus wasn't most of the old financial district destroyed in a fire?
