The following are pics that I scanned from the book of collective lost and forgotten Toronto building from the 19th century and early 20th century which are now destroyed. For those who want to check out this book, it's called "Lost Toronto" by William Dendy. It's quite an old book but its a gem which includes fullexplanation and info on each forgotten building and the reason for demo, it should be found at any library near you.
