Bridge, 1909


A young woman prepares to cross a bridge in 1909.  At first I thought it was a foot bridge, and then I remembered that many of Toronto's roads were hard-packed dirt a century ago.

Unknown location.

CN Rail Bridge, 1909


A CN Rail bridge in an unknown location; judging from the other rail photos from this album, it is likely somewhere around the Junction which, my mother informs me, had a bad name in those days.  It was important to let people know you were from south of Bloor Street if you lived in that area.
