Runnymede Road, 1911


Runnymede Road in 1911.  The neighbourhood of Runnymede doesn't look at all like this anymore.  That looks like a lovely big jack pine in the foreground.

Indian Road, Early 1900s


Indian Road (compare with the previous entry in February) in the early 1900s.  Based on the dates of the other photos on the same page as this one, it is somewhere between 1903 and 1911.  Suffice it to say that Indian Road, near the Toronto neighbourhood of High Park, is paved and heavily populated.

Indian Road Crescent 1903


Indian Road Crescent, south of Bloor Street West and near High Park, in February of 1903.  Check out the large, pre-global warming snowbanks.  Toronto doesn't look like that very often any more.

Unknown Road



An unknown road.  Given the picture's place in the album, it is likely around High Park area, and the road is most likely Bloor Street West.

I believe this is my grandmother in the area of High Park in the first decade of the 1900s.

An unknown road in Toronto, sometime between 1909 and 1924.  Given the other photos nearby in the album, it is likely somewhere near High Park, and could even be Bloor Street West.
