Yonge Street & Roxborough Street, Toronto

Yonge Street & Roxborough Street, Toronto
The tower is part of the former Summerhill-North Toronto station of the Canadian Pacific Railway (1916, Darling and Pearson). The station closed in 1930 after Union Station opened, and today the lower floors are Canada's largest liquor store. We're looking north and In the far distance you can see the Wittington Tower, which I posted a photo of a couple of days ago.

The tower must have been quite a sight standing alone, Léo, but it may be even more impressive today with the boxy backdrop.

As I nentioned to Joe, George, Toronto, or at least downrown and midtown, is characterized by higgledy-piggledyness.

I agree, Keith. Much of downrown and midtown Toronto seems to have been thrown up as quickly as possible, with no time for considering uniformity.
