This panel is one of five that used to run vertically up the exterior of the Peoples Optical Building at 8 Queen St. E. When the building was demolished in 1995, the limestone bas-relief panels were saved and eventually relocated to their present location, in the hallway outside the lower subway entrance at the north east corner of Yonge and Queen.
