Thay look fascinating!

Land in Toronto has almost always been expensive, so in the 19th century a lot of tall, skinny buildings got built.

Nice streetscape.

Thanks, William.

A colourful neighbourhood...

The place has had quite a history. It lost a good part of its customer base in the 1990s thanks to "development", and a lot of the food stores were replaced by restaurants, galleries, etc. It's now a National Historic Site.

Very interesting architecture.

Toronto developed some very interesting styles in the 19th century, then went downhill in the early 20th. Architectural training declined in quality, and builders started using inferior materials. As far as I'm concerned it's never really recovered,

What an eclectic mix of housing Toronto seems to have.............A fascinating look at these John. I think these are much more interesting than a lot of the more modern stuff.

As I mentioned to George, Keith (look! I got both your names right!) the quality of building in Toronto declined sharply in the earky 20th cwntury, and, as far as I can see, has never recovered.
