Thanks, Annemarie, and the same to you.

A stunning commingling of miscellaneous architecture.

Yes, I found it a striking mix, Léo. This is an urban node which had two periods of development. It arose in the early 1900s at the terminus of a radial railway, and many low-rise buildings went up. Then in 1953 a subway station opened there and high-rise buildings started springing up. The low-rise buildings in the middle went up in the 1920s, and retain their enclosed porches, which were pretty common then, and remained common until the 1970s or so. I think those buildings have now been torn down.
Correction: Google Street View shows them still there.

these little houses are very strange in this world of skyscrapers!!

In my reply to Léopold I tried to explain the mix, Gabi.

An interesting mix of architectural styles :-)

In my reply to Léopold I tried to explain the mix, Keith.

now I have now read your explanation - thank you!

Thanks for letting me know John..........I've just read it. It's always good to know how places evolve!

I owe my interest in photography to a book published by Toronto Public Library about the development of St. Clair Avenue West. Keith. It had many interesting photos of the development of the street, and I set out to catalogue the street as it was in 2008, And along the way I noticed there were other things I could photograph, and so on. I actually didn't have a camera when I started -- I was using disposables. By the time I finished photographing SCW, though, I had one and started taking it everywhere.
