Happy Friday everyone! Another week gone, and we’re more than halfway through February too!
Up today is one of my favourite photos that I’ve come across. Dated June 1, 1934, the caption on the back reads:
I love the street life captured in this photo. A real moment in time captured.
Here is the bank building today. Still standing on the n.w. corner of Wyandotte and Lincoln. The bank was built as an Imperial Bank in 1927, and was designed by Toronto Architects Langley & Howland. Unlike many older buildings along Wyandotte, this one has made out pretty well over the years.

Is that a young woman wearing pants in the doorway? *gasp*
Really contrasts again the elderly man whose suit is probably 15 years out of date.
This building still looks like new. It still has its brickwork and has not been infected by stucco!!
Excellent photo.
Wonderful photograph, indeed. The first thing I noticed was the people in the doorway. Could not tell from the first photo if the person on the left was a woman and wanted to see a detail crop. The woman crossing the street with two girls..., the worker going by, pipe in mouth and head down. I wonder what his profession was?
Great shot Andrew- it's not often that I see a new Walkerville photo- esp. with people in it!
As you said- a new favourite!
The old Loblaws Groceteria part of the building has been clumsily stuccified.
i love the "dentist" and "tailor" signs above the side entrances. the guy with the bucket and smoking the pipe. awesome. what an absolutely wonderful photograph.
Is that a large plaque on the side of the building below the DENTIST sign? If so, what would it signify?
It almost looks like the people are posing... especially the woman wearing pants. It's a brilliant photo- who's collection is it from?
oh how I remember climbing those stairs to go to Dr Cunningham, I was so terrified of him, whenever I go past this corner those memories come back like yesterday, no matter how old I become
