Great pics, guys. Keep 'em coming.
One thing this thread confirms, though, is that Canadian cities have always been afraid of heights, or having skyscrapers that really stand out from the next tallest ones in their respective cities. That was as true in 1917 as it is in 2017.
No Terminal Towers or Carew towers or things like that.
Every now and then a skyscraper breaks the height barrier by a substantial margin, like Stantec now or the TD centre in 1967 but, in general, the "tallest building in city X" is a 30 or 50 ft higher than the second, third, fourth...tenth tallest.
