On the left is 9 Spadina Road, an Annex-style house built in 1889. Annex houses have Romanesque Revival ground floors and Queen Anne Revival upper floors. Elsewhere they'd be considered a variant of Queen Anne Revival, but in Toronto the style was named for the neighbourhood it first became prominent in.
The building on the right is Tartu College (1969, Tampold and Wells) on Bloor St. W., a residence for University of Toronto students. It is named for the Estonian city and funded chiefly by the National Estonian Foundation of Canada and Tartu Institute.
The view hasn't changed. Here's a longer and more recent view:

I do think your opening "On the right..." should be "On the left..." though.
