Old and New Toronto - Spadina Streetcars

Another postcard from the 'Flashbacks 2' series. "A streetcar on the Belt Line route (Spadina, King, Sherbourne, Bloor) rumbles by workmen engaged in road repair work, Spadina Avenue, c. 1899"


(Perhaps taken at the same time as my previous post?)

And now, with a similarly old streetcar in the picture:


(Similarly old meaning that in 116 years we can take another photo and compare).

Looking in the other direction, this photo (from 1927) already shows the Waverly Hotel (also in the picture above, just to the left of the '24hr' TTC sign). I was looking to see if the trough noted in the previous post was still there, but I think it would be hidden by the construction huts(?) on that side of the street.
