Title

Yonge & Queen in the 1880s

Description

A view from Yonge Street looking west along Queen Street in about 1888. You can see horse-drawn streetcars and wagons, and gas lamps on the telephone poles (remember those?). Men and boys wore hats and women wore bustles, and the streets were cobbled. Tall buildings had a third floor, maybe even a fourth!
