At first glance, this fence around the back lot of the Toronto Hydro building near Carlton and Yonge just seems to have a bit more visual appeal than your standard security fence. Look a little closer however and you'll notice dates andphotographs incorporated into the design. If you start at the eastern edge of the fence on Wood Street and walk back toward Yonge, you'll find a timeline of events related to the history of Toronto Hydro. In this panel, you discover that in 1934 cable chamber covers began to appear along city sidewalks as electrical equipment moved underground.
