Location: pedestrian walkway between Yonge and Victoria, north of King Street
Date photo taken: 11 March 2019
Last year the pedestrian pass through that connects Yonge and Victoria and brushes past Adelaide Courtyard got a lot more interesting. A number of large vintage photographs depicting scenes from the neighbourhood's past were installed mosaic-style along the walkway. This one shows road work being done at the corner of Yonge and Adelaide in 1922. The photograph is part of the William James collection at the City of Toronto which consists of over 5000 photographs taken by members of the William James family. Taken largely between 1900 and 1939 they provide a fascinating look into Toronto's past.
