A Traffic Jam Near High Park, 1910

Two Ford Model T automobiles drive side-by-side what is probably the eastern shore of Grenadier Pond in High Park in 1910.  Note that, as with today, there were more people on Toronto's roads than there were cars.

Unknown River, 191X

An unknown river, most likely the Humber, with a bridge and a building in the distance.

Humber River, 191X

A gentleman observes the Humber River early in the 20th century.  The Humber River watershed is now home to over 700 000 people, but early in Toronto's history it and the Don River were key to the city's milling and masonry needs.

"To Lambton" in 1912

On the way to Lambton Mills in 1912.  I'm unsure of what trail or road this is, but it sure doesn't look like the area around Dundas Street West and the Humber River these days.

A Humber Bridge, c. 1910

A bridge over the Humber River, at an unknown location.  It is unlikely that this is the predecessor to the Bloor Street West Humber Bridge at Old Mill, though many roadway pictures from this album are taken of Bloor Street West.  It is difficult to ascertain where this was taken as many bridges along the Humber were destroyed in the wake of Hurricane Hazel in 1954.  Toronto was not engineered to withstand a tropical storm, and as a result over 50 bridges were destroyed by flash flooding throughout the city.
