Taken May 15, 1913 at 21 Elizabeth St. The photo was included in a report about the poor state of Toronto’s housing. The property was located in “The Ward,” a notorious slum in the heart of the city. It stood where the Nathan Philips Square ice rink is today.

#TheWardTO was a dense, immigrant enclave in the central core of the City of #Toronto.
Two early 20th-century rooftop photos provide interesting views of its physical makeup.

The Bay st Bus terminal has heritage that goes beyond the beautiful architecture. Many Toronto adventures started here - with people arriving and departing. Sad to see it go. But lots of potential for city building on the site (actually 2 sites) including affordable housing.

"That the stories are now largely forgotten speaks volumes about the province’s approach to teaching Black history, said Natasha Henry, the head of the @OBHistory....noting that Ontario’s MOE doesn’t include any Black history in its curriculum"
