Walking Toronto streets - Jarvis and Church (part 2)

The second part of my 'Jarvis and Church' walk (link to part 1 here). Church street from its southern end, north until it curves around to Yonge Street and turns into Davenport Road. So many interesting things to see - some in my old 'hood.

Click on any picture to see a big version! Also part of this map.

Church Street

Starting at the far south end of Church Street, looking north.

The Gooderham Building (aka Flatiron Building, and 'YAGB' - Yet Another Gooderham Building)

And now the main churches on Church Street. King James Cathedral at King and Church (see my (future) post on King Street for more pics - below is actually the Saint James Cathedral Centre just north of the Cathedral).

Metropolitan United Church (west side of Church Street just north of Queen Street).

Saint Michael's Cathedral Basilica just west of Church Street on Shuter Street.

Saint Michael's Cathedral Rectory

(Now to double back for some other buildings between the three big churches).

McVeigh's Irish Pub ('New Windsor Hotel') - at the SW corner of Church and Richmond for 53 years. Building dates to 1882. Will be incorporated into a condo development.

Henry's Camera - have spent a reasonable amount of money there.

Former Bank of Nova Scotia - now apartments

Church Street was also the location of a lot of pawn shops. Still a few here just north of Queen Street.

Looking north by Ryerson (now Toronto Metropolitan University).

Some nice side streets.

Mural on the south wall of the (now closed) Marquis of Granby Pub, which used to be the "...landmark gay destination The Barn" in the '80's and '90's.

The Village - Church Street looking north at Maitland. I used to live at Maitland and Jarvis (a block to the right in this picture). The National Ballet School of Canada is on that block.

Dudley's Hardware - was there when I lived around here 40 years ago. "...opened in 1934 by Morris and Sid Dudley" in fact.

"The 519" Church Street Community Centre.
There was a Loblaws here, just to the left of the 519, back in the '70's.

Originally one of the William St Croix houses (1877). https://www.acotoronto.ca/building.php?ID=13521

Traders Building (1956). Will be the site of more condos, though keeping much of the original building. 

Salvation Army Grace Hospital is at Church and Bloor East

Curving apartment building following one of the curves on Church Street north of Bloor at Park Rd.

Yet another brewery in Toronto - go figure. North side of Church about a block east of Yonge.

The Masonic Temple Concert Hall is now 'Info-Tech'?!  On the northwest corner where Church Street hits Yonge Street (and becomes Davenport Road)

And on my way back I went down Yonge and passed the Toronto Reference Library. Beautiful inside and the largest public reference library in Canada.
