Very neat image of 61-65 Terauley (later Bay) Street in 1911 with the Eaton's factory towers behind. Fire Insurance Map in 1910 for reference. #Toronto

Yesterday, I teamed up with Lost Rivers for a stroll through Riverdale. We talked lost creeks, local history, and Brooks Bush Gang! Huge thanks to everyone who came out, our great Lost Rivers volunteers, and my amazing co-leader @dontrailtalkerTO for the invite! 📷: Lost Rivers
