Toronto’s history has deep roots in the East End with extraordinary architecture in Cabbagetown and along Queen Street East.
Play around with the slider below to see how old-timey pictures dating back to the early 20th century compare to their modern day counterparts. It’s easy to see just how well-preserved some parts of these neighbourhoods are.
All heritage images are from the Toronto Public Library while recent photos are courtesy of James Bomabales.
